I got an excellent code for putting registry entry of my visual basic project in windows start up .

Now my project runs automatically when windows starts, but the problem is i am unable to delete the registry entry fully at all.

I mean to say in my vb project what i was having was the code to put the specified project name into registry . What i did was i made the exe of the same project and gave that as the specified project name, so what is happening is every time windows starts up i am putting my own project entry into registry.

NOW my question is although i have deleted the exe of the project how the project is still running on start up .

Please give solution

Try to use DELETESETTINGS to delete any entry from registry.

Are you sure a non-existing application is still running ?

RegDeleteValue and RegDeleteKey API's are what you are looking for.

Good Luck
