Windows Service - with .exe

[WannaBeGut]

Hello!

This is my first Thread / Post here, I hope I'am in the right section.. ._.

Alright, thats my problem: I made a program and I want to start it at every system start, I would like to do it with this Registry Key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\MyProgram"

I made some keys with Autoit (ImagePath, DisplayName, Description, ErrorControl, Start, Type).
And I added it to the "SvcHost - Servicelist". But it doesnt seem to start. I was wondering if I have to do a .dll, but I dont think its possible to do a .dll with autoit source. (Tell me if I'm wrong)

Excuse my bad English and thank you in advance!

If its an EXE, why can't you just put in the startup folder?

I just wonder if its possible.

Try it, I'm pretty sure it will work.

Talking about the registry thing ^^

Use this method instead.

Thank you for that one! Shouldn't it be possible with Registry too, tho?

You're better off not screwing with the registry.
