Newbie Question

Yeah okay I know this is probably a very newb question but I can honestly say I've never tried it before, not even thought about it really so I have no idea hehe. How do I make a .exe run when someone logs on (Windows XP) ?

Depends on how stealthy you want the program to be and how easily you want to remove it. Just putting it in the startup folder should make it run at startup but it's fairly easy to detect and remove. A better option would be to put it in the registry (regedit from run) and add it to:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Still easy to detect and remove if you know what your looking for. Just some examples.

There's a pretty good O'Reilly article here: http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/oreilly/windows/ron/startup_0401.html

Add it as a start up process? I'm actually not to sure how to do this

The startup folder will do for me, thanks.

Could always add it to tasks… start –> run –> tasks

then set it up to start everytime your computer turns on, but this is easily deleted

It wasnt that much of a nub question..

@aVoid - why did you put your name at the end of your post? If we wanted to know who you are, we could look a few inches up to see you name…

lol I do that too.

@Ponguile - Why do you suck at life??? I sign my name b/c it's just an old habit. Why the hell do you care anyways?? OMG you read one more word that identifies who I am. OMG OMG OMG OMG let's make a meaningless reply QUICK!!!

Suck on it and enjoy!

Pethatic ..

On-topic: You can add the application to the Group Policy as startup object. You can specify it as a application that have to start at startup, or at login. The user can see that the application is running (although some applications hide themself from TASKMGR), but they can't easily remove them..

It's "pathetic" WOW!! You should keep your comments to yourself if you can't even spell a simple word correctly! Especially, when the matter doesn't even concern you in the first place.

I'm Dutch, my English isn't that good :-)

I don't care if it did concern or didn't concern to me. I found your reaction very pathEtic…

Guys seriously stfu, who the fuck cares if people sign their name?

As to the whole easy to detect thing, the only way to really hide a program is through use of a rootkit. And even then, it can still be detected.
