chesedro Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I am sorry for asking such a simple question. i have been looking for the answers in the help documentation but have been unable to acomplish what i need to acomplish.. i will explain all i need to do is this.. the Autoit script i will create will run automatically every time a user loges on.. however i would like the script to be able to determine if it has been run for the particular user that is currently logged on.. the script will then have two choice. if it has been run for this user then it will exit.. but if it has not been run then it will continue on.. i have completed the script and it works.. this part of it is all i need.. i have looked into somehow getting the script to write a file or dir named after the current user that ran the script then if the script looked at the current logged on user if could then look for a file or folder of that name and if it did exist then it would know that the script had been run and if it did not exist then it would continue to run finally creating this file or dir so not to run a second time the next time this user loges in.. .. i was also looking into the same method but instead of a file or dir to validate use a regwrite and regread.. please any suggestions would get great.. thank you for your help.. i am writing this in a hurry so i am sorry for all the errors.. thanks.

Xenobiologist Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 HI, so where is your problem? Use RegRead() So long, Mega Scripts & functions Organize Includes Let Scite organize the include files Yahtzee The game "Yahtzee" (Kniffel, DiceLion) LoginWrapper Secure scripts by adding a query (authentication) _RunOnlyOnThis UDF Make sure that a script can only be executed on ... (Windows / HD / ...) Internet-Café Server/Client Application Open CD, Start Browser, Lock remote client, etc. MultipleFuncsWithOneHotkey Start different funcs by hitting one hotkey different times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoChris Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 You can drop a file (any file) in the @AppsDataDir or @TempDir which are located in the user's profile directory. Therefore, you can drop and read the file based on the currently logged on user. As for the registry, do a RegWrite/RegRead to HKCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELyon Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It's something like DirCreate(@TempDir &"text") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
