Hi,

I am trying to remove my program from the windows startup list in the
registry programmatically using the following code:

TRegistry *Registry = new TRegistry;
Registry->RootKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
if(Registry->OpenKey("\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run",
false)==true)
{
        Registry->DeleteKey("Project1");
}

but unfortunately the code doesn't do anything and the program can't be
removed from the registry !!!

Can someone tell me please what exactly I am doing wrong, or missing here...

thanks
