 How do I create an entry in the Windows registry with Windows PowerShell?

 Use the New-ItemProperty cmdlet to add the information you need.

          under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:

$RegistryPath=”HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"

$Name=”StartMeUp”
