Start Up Program - Remove (VB.NET)

Submitted by donbermoy on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 - 22:52.

This is a continuation of my other tutorial in vb.net that loads and displays the number of startup programs in your computer and then displays it. Now, this tutorial aims to select and remove the retrieved start up programs in our pc. strong>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 one ListView with two columns, one button that loads the startup programs and another button that removes the startup program, and one label that will be display the number of startup programs. You must design your interface like this: output

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

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Now, declare some of the variables that we will going to use for loading the number of startup programs and display it on the label.

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

Copy this code below to load the number of startup programs. This was the last tutorial that I have created with loading the startup.

    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

Lastly, for our main code in removing the selected start up programs, we will declare first this variables.

 Dim value As String, number As Int32

Now, to remove the selected startup programs, have this code below:

    Private Sub ButtonRemove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonRemove.Click
        If Not ListView1.SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
            number = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Index
            g.DeleteValue(newlistv.Items(number).Text)
            MsgBox(ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text & " was succesfully deleted", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
            ListView1.Items.RemoveAt(number)
        End If
    End Sub

Output:
