Need help with making an autorun script

[yabee]

I need to make a script that when I open internet explorer or mozilla firefox, my program would autorun.

could you please help me making that code..

I came up with this code but it hasnt worked out yet

if $iexplore.exe = [open]

[autorun] = c:\program files\project1\sticky me 1.5.0

please help me ASAP.. Im really in a rush.

You can create a script that runs in the background untill IE, or FF open and then runs a function.

For instance:

While 1
    If ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") Then
        MsgBox(0,"test","internet explorer exixsts")
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

will display a messagebox when IE exists.

MsgBox(0,"test","internet explorer exixsts")

thank you!

how do i change it if i want a program to run such as calculator to run in the background instead of the messagebox?

nvm, i got it.. but i still have a problem with the script.. i keeps running until my laptop hangs.. whats wrong with the code?

While 1

If ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") Then

ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\Project1\Sticky Me 1.5.0.exe")

EndIf

Sleep(100)

WEnd

i am unsure if this would work, but you can try experimenting a little with this -

While 1
If ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") Then
ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\Project1\Sticky Me 1.5.0.exe")
EndIf
Sleep(100)
If ProcessExists("Sticky Me 1.5.0.exe") then
exit
EndIf
WEnd

I have not tested it, however it may work.

The problem with your original script appears to be that when iexplore is launched, it runs Sticky Me 1.5.0.exe then sleeps, and starts over again and because iexplore exists it will launch Sticky Me 1.5.0.exe again.

Correct me if im wrong, however the solution i posted should work okay

EDIT1: Forgot to put in endif, now fixed... however i am unsure if the endif is in the correct place... try experimenting a little

EDIT2: Fixed the code, do not need the else which was previously there I have not tried to see if it works or not however i no longer get any syntax errors.
