Greetings!
Below program is purpose to execute a program(exe) from registry upon system startup.It was built successfuly,but unfortunately it does not work as expected,nothing would happen.It prints:
"Oh..no,not a good doctor."
when the program runs.
What's problem?It is under DMD2.036 under windows xp.
Thanks for your help in advance.
import *.*;//everything needed
BOOL StartupThruRegistry(char* pFileName)
{
	DWORD rc;
	DWORD length=pFileName.sizeof;
	DWORD type=REG_SZ;
	HKEY hKey;
	rc=RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
		"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run",
		0,KEY_READ,&hKey);
	if(rc==ERROR_SUCCESS)
	{
		rc=RegSetValueEx(hKey,toStringz("Startup"),0,
				type,cast(ubyte*)pFileName,length);
		RegCloseKey(hKey);
	}
	if(rc==ERROR_SUCCESS)
		return TRUE;
	else
		return FALSE;
}
