O.P. Winamp as Startup
I'd like to know how to add Winamp to the startup items.
It's not an option in msconfig so is there a registry value or somthing i need to add?

RE: Winamp as Startup
Why don't you just drag its shortcut to Start Menu\Programs\Startup ? Then it doesn't involve adding registry :)

Mnjul- I just restared and it didnt work

Note that im using WinME not XP.

Chris- I dont understand, theres no option there for a startup item only to startup when audio cd is inserted, im talking about when u boot up windows.

RE: Winamp as Startup
code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"winamp"="C:\\Program Files\\winamp\\winamp.exe"

copy and paste this into notepad and change the path of winamp to where u installed it and save as a .reg then open it

Cannot Import C:\PROFILES\USER\MYDOCU~1\WINAMP.REG:
The specified file is not a registry script.
You can only import registry files.

Try this
code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Winamp"="C:\\Program Files\\Winamp\\winamp.exe"

Its the same as what is attached .reg file what -dt- posted showed that winamp folder as "Program Files\winamp" but for me its "Program Files\Winamp" Hope this works for you. But if you know how to copy and past a shortcut from ur start menu it woudl be better go to "Start|Programs|Winamp" then right click Winamp and click copy then go to "Start|Programs|Startup" Thrn right click the Startup folder and click past and that would work also
