How can I launch a program with Delphi, each time that Windows starts?
I know that I can put a shortcut in the Startup
folder of the Start menu, but I want to do this from my Delphi program.
And if possible, how to start
it only ONCE, so only on the "next" Windows startup?
Thanks!

Have a look in DelphiLand's section "Code Snips" under "Mini Tutorial Projects".
The tutorial "Launch an application at Windows Startup" is just what you need :)

Thanks, that's what I was looking for!
I understand that Windows removes the RunOnce items automatically after launching them on startup.
But what about the programs set to run on every Windows start? It's a bit difficult (and dangerous I
you make a mistake) to remove them "by hand" with RegEdit, once they are not needed anymore...
You would
make me very happy ;) with some Delphi code to safely remove these "run every startup" entries
:)

Shame on us ;) our previous article was not complete without also telling you how
to remove the keys that you don't need anymore.
We've added some code: have a look at our new mini-tutorial "Remove an entry from a Registry key" in
DelphiLand's section "Code Snips".
