Hi ,

     I have all ready posted a question regarding this problem. I did'nt get any reply but i got some solution.

Can anyone plz hlp me out to solve the problem.

Some options for running the application on Windows Startup are described here:

I haven't tried the techniques myself, but you could check them out, if it helps your requirements.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

thanks for the reply . But I am using windows XP and I cud'nt find task sheduler . I found something regarding windows service which runs automatically whenever the system boots. I don'nt have much idea regarding windows services. Will it be posible to call an c# windows application exe from an windows services so that whenever windows boots it calls my windows service and which ultimately call my application.

An easy way to do that would be to use the task scheduler (control panel -> administrative tools -> task scheduler) to set up a basic task that will launch the application whenever the computer starts. You can do this through the interface or programmatically.
