NightGaunt Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 1) It may be easier to just dump a shortcut to the Common Users startup. 2) If you are launching something from Program Files directory or any other directory with a Space don't forget to wrap it in "" or the Reg won't read it right. 3) Regwrite: It is usually easier to use HKLM, but I believe Auto-It reads both. 4) Check to make sure it is written right, use msconfig to check your startup, or check the registry manually.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted April 14, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2006 you prolly mean of currentdir? this is the value: $currentdir = @WorkingDirWhy don't you try changing @WorkingDir to the actual path that the file will be in, like if you put the exe in the program files directory then do: @ProgramFilesDir & '\FolderName\snapshot.exe' Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
