c++ regcreatekeyex compile error
I want photoshop to start at my computer at work. Its not compile help me! Can u explain me what is the 5 and 6 arguments? Can i do KEY_CREATE_LINK instead of key all access? When i use KEY_CREATE_LINK can i modify registry values set to KEY_CREATE_LINK?
my code:
the function doenst return ERROR_SUCESS
how to fix it? maybe its because of the av?
WHY U USE \\ FOR THE PATH OF THE KEY??

RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SOFTWARE\\MICROSOFT\\WINDOWS\\CURRENTVERSION\\RUN\\photoshop",0,NULL,REG_OPTION_BACKUP_RESTORE,KEY_ALL_ACCESS,NULL,&myhwnd,NULL) ;the function doenst return ERROR_SUCESS
how to fix it? maybe its because of the av?

(I read the message backwards and gave a solution to fix the symptom. But now I've finished reading up the message, I think the starting premise is flawed.)

Backslashes are used for escape sequences so to get a single backslash, you need to double them up e.g.
And if I'm not mistaken, creating a key in HKLM requires elevated privileges. If the function doesn't return ERROR_SUCCESS, what does it return? Have you looked up the return value to see why it's failing?

As lodger said you may need higher privileges you can use UAC, to create run-time UAC windows you can use this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/320748/Haephrati-Elevating-during-runtime
Do be aware it is a tutorial not a code snippet, if it fails even with elevated privileges, there could be some sort of error , check Error Values.
There should be no errors as you should be having complete system access excluding NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM user account. Normally I don't do this because some AV's block access to vulnerable processes\registry so try inject it into csrss.exe then change the registry from csrss.exe memory space although if that is also blocked, I would suspect some Malware or something shady.
