That shows only 1 (very small and limited) aspect of the use of the API (and doesn't explain one bit about all the ins and outs of it).

As you can see in that source, it wouldn't do much. In fact your program will not be able to do anything unless that root key (or a subkey) has changed. It doesn't detect multiple individuals keys, it doesn't say what key, etc.. etc... Heck,  with that source you wouldn't be able to detect anything decent let alone the startup entries as asked.

What he wants is closer (if not almost the same) as what is posted almost at the end of that thread in that result-link I posted in my previous post.

Sorry Cookie... :(

nope... why would I get mad :p

though APIList is not what I call a source where you find stuff which always will work though...I've found many inaccuracies, incomplete stuff (this API description is an example of how limited they are with their info) and bugs in examples there, not to mention that site hasn't been updated in aaaaaages.
