Submitted by donbermoy on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 - 22:51.

This tutorial will teach you how to create a program that can load all the start up programs in your computer and loads the total number of it using VB.NET. Now, let's start this tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application. 2. Next, add only one ListView with two Columns and named it as ListView1, one button for loading the startup programs, and one label to retrieve the total number of startup programs. You must design your interface like this: output

3. Now, we will do the coding. We will first import the Microsoft.Win32 library to access the registry namespace.

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Then, we will declare some variables that we will going to use to retrieve those startup programs with the number of programs their.

    Dim g As RegistryKey
    Dim appname As String
    Dim newlistv As New ListView
    Dim a As String, m, u, Numberofstartupprograms As Int32

Lastly, have this code for your button that it will load all the startup programs and retrieved the total number of it.

    Private Sub ButtonLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonLoad.Click
 
        'clear the listview and the newlistview
        Numberofstartupprograms = 0
        ListView1.Items.Clear()
        newlistv.Items.Clear()
 
        ' accessing the local machine of the registy
        g = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", True)
 
        ' get all the startup programs
        For Each item In g.GetValueNames
            Numberofstartupprograms += 1
            'get the path of the name
            appname = CStr(g.GetValue(item))
            Application.DoEvents()
 
            ' added the startup programs to the listview
            ListView1.Items.Add(appname).SubItems.Add(item)
            newlistv.Items.Add(item)
 
            'retrieved the total number of programs on the label
            Label1.Text = "Total Start-up: " & Numberofstartupprograms
        Next
    End Sub
