    <p>My assumption is you're working from a <strong>Setup project</strong> here.....</p> <p>one way to do this - I'm not saying it is the best but it is probably the easiest - is to do the following:</p> <p><strong>In the "File System" tab, right click on "File System on Target Machine", "Add Special Folder", "User's Startup Folder" and such folder appears on the list. Next, get a shortcut to your project output (by right clicking) and drag that shortcut into the Startup folder.</strong></p> <p><strong>Last of all, since you want this for all users, go into the Deployment Project Properties and set "InstallAllUsers" to true.</strong></p> <p>Now, there is a caveat with this approach, in that the app does not start when Windows starts, but when someone logs on. From what you say of your project (a UI app) this may be ok.</p> <p>If you really want to go hacking the registry you could look at creating a custom action dll. This is something where you can write pretty much what you like, and at the end of the install process the setup program will call into your dll so you can do your stuff. You can pass things like the path of the executable as a parameter into the dll (which you would pick up from the installer dialog, not from any object). I won't go into this is detail as there must be loads on the web about this.</p> <p>You should be aware that there is a finite amount of information you can pass into the dll - might be as low as 256 chars if memory serves. You'll probably be ok with just a path but when you start doing more....</p> <p>As regards detecting whether a user is a local Admin, that is a bit more tricky, if only because the custom action dll gets run at the end of the installation rather than at the start - so you could write code to find out what groups the current user is in, but the chances are you'd have blown up before that code could run. I don't believe - in a Microsoft Setup project at least - that it is possible to know this.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
