Donald8282 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to get an AutoIt program to start up in MSconfig instead of the startup folder. I like to keep that folder clean.
DarkAngel Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Smells of malacious activities. There are lot of ways to do what you want. What is the script for ?
Donald8282 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 I know it does sound malicious =\ but It's for a project I want to start working on again. Link: I stopped working on it a while ago and want to try to finish it.
darthwhatever Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 theres two ways to do it (I'm pretty sure)... for all users, open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run add a string value, and put in the path to your program. for just one user, do the same thing, but in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run [font=arial, sans-serif]How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

DarkAngel Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 errr there are more ways too ... 1. ShellExcute the exe from the autoexec.bat in the root of the system drive. 2. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell -> explorer.exe yourapp.exe
guinness Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Also check out the Function _Startup() in my signature. This should give you an idea of what to code >> _StartupFolder_Install("Program Name", @AutoItExe, 0) ; Current User OR ... _StartupFolder_Install("Program Name", @AutoItExe, 1) ; All Users Smells of malacious activities.I don't think it does, quite a few programs use the registry entry Run to start their program upon startup.
