Hi . most of the programs add a flag to the end of there value data in registy.

i.e

-quiet
/background
/STARTUP

Yahoo, Msn messangers has thease flags added to there startup entry.

what each mea?
any body have a full list of flags?

The flags, or arguments, are specific to the program. When a programmer creates a program he may enable the use of arguments to these programs. When a specific argument is then used with the executable it will perform a specific function.

There is no generic flag for all programs but is really based on however the programmer designed it.
