greenmachine Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Well, can your sister access your desktop while she is logged on? If not, you need to put it somewhere where both of you can access the file, such as the C: drive, somewhere that is not specific to any single user.

bucky002 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 I tried putting it in the C:\ drive and it still didn't work. Anything else that would maybe work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Here's a test: don't start the program, but move the whole thing into the startup dir (any of them). Then, log on to another user. See if the program is running. If not, log back on to your username, and see if it is running. If it is still not running, restart and log on to any name. It should be running after the restart if it didn't work before. Let me know which (if any) works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky002 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 How do I get to startup dir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Make a separate script, put this in it, and run it. MsgBox (0, "startup", @StartupDir & @CRLF & @StartupCommonDir) Then, go find those paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 like i told you... compile it and right click and make a shortcut and copy that shortcut to the common startup directory 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 like i told you...compile it and right click and make a shortcut and copy that shortcut to the common startup directory8)That doesn't help much if he can't even find the common startup directory. You're still jumping the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky002 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 I think this is my startup directory, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, but when I went there, the shortcut was already there. I guess I'll try it again. Should I start it so it's in my task tray thing or just leave as is? Thanks I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Did you restart your computer to see if it started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryFrost Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 It started on my user, but not anyone elses. Need to have the exe where any user's profile can execute it, then make a short-cut to it in the startup folder as the other users had posted, but if the exe is not where any profile can execute it putting the short-cut in the start-up won't do any good.

TheCuz Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Are you logged in as yourself when you do this or as admin? Try logging in as admin and then put the compiled script in the startup folder for all users.
