BigDod Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is there a way to activate a script on startup without having to click it? Also is this possible to do when certain conditions are met to just activate a script??? To activate a script at startup just compile it and copy it into your startup folder.

PsaltyDS Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is there a way to activate a script on startup without having to click it? Also is this possible to do when certain conditions are met to just activate a script??? Ummm... Put it in the StartUp folder for either the username or All Users?In the second question, what kind of conditions are you talking about? Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Swimming_Bird Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I would build the conditions into the script itself and toss a key in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyanidemonkey Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) I'm pretty new to AutoIt so this proberly not the best way, it is part of a larger function, triggered by a user interface option to turn autostart off & on... FileCreateShortcut(@ScriptDir & "\your_application.exe", $gDrive & ":\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\your_application.lnk") ;$gDrive is a varible of the drive letter just incase they don't use C ;your_application is the name of your Autoit script I'd like to change 'All Users' to the logged in user name, but I don't know how to detect the systems logged in username. In my case it is for dedicated game servers so I did'nt worry about it, but you may need to find a way of getting username.

SlimJim Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Use cyanidemonkey's script but with the $gDrive & ":\Documents and Settings\All Users part replaced by %UserProfile%. You need the line Opt("ExpandEnvStrings",1) to ensure that the %UserProfile% environment string is expanded to a path which can be used. (apologies for the full stop instead of a comma) Edited January 30, 2006 by SlimJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
