I've just noticed there is a much easier solution, which works for all windows versions (see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=137367):
you could directly write the following key to the registry: key: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\del eteProj" value: "'command.com /c del c:\myPath\myProjector.exe" you could do this with an xtra, so you wouldn't need any vbs-code. the projector gets deleted after next restart, and the registry key will be deleted automatically . valentin Craig Taylor wrote: > Good Afternoon, > > I have a program that is password protected.
