My goal is to, add the file to the startup folder while renaming it.
So, if my file is test.exe , i want to add it to startup folder with another name ex@ test1.exe.
In my current code it just adds itself to start up and keeping the same name.
My code:
So just to make things clear, instead of copying itself to the startup folder, i want it to copy itself to the startup folder and rename itself.
I just don't know how to add that to my code.
If anyone could do it for me, i would highly appreciate it.
Thanks.
