Hold up, are we actually supposed to be hacking our friends' computers? I think I'll have to pass on this one. My mom always said to play nice with others.

Option A seems like the right choice here. I'd rather not get into the details, but let's just say I've had some experience with this kind of thing.

I'm not sure, but I think C) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunServices could also be a potential option to edit for this task.

Wow, I'm definitely not going to edit any registry entries to insert a Trojan on my friend's computer. That's a huge breach of trust and totally unethical!

I agree with Lindsey. Editing the Startup registry entry would make the Trojan run on startup without the user's knowledge.

I think the correct answer is A) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Startup because that's where startup programs are usually located.
