CodenStuff or anyone:
I have a settings window with a checkbox saying Run at startup and by default it is unchecked. If the user doesn't have the key in his registry and it attempts to remove the key, will it throw an error? Because I don't want an error saying something like:
"Registry key does not exist."
I especially don't want it to screw up there registry. So please help?
