Having a script run when only a particular user logs on

[brodie28]

I have never had a script run at start up before, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I couldn't find anything on it in the help file.

It needs to run when only a certain user logs onto windows. (automaticly).

It probably has something to do with the @UserName macro?

Edit: The @username macro doesn seem to return what I want it to anyway.

@StartupDir current user's Startup folder

[brodie28]

So just have the script copy itself into that folder?

Edit: I'm not even sure how I would get the script to copt itself...

For other users, get the profile path from the registry.

EDIT: Valuater beat me to it.

This didn't work....

FileCreateShortcut ( @StartupDir, @AutoItExe)

[brodie28]

Nor did this

FileCreateShortcut ( @StartupDir & "\UA.exe", @AutoItExe)

Edit: I am an idiot.

Wrong way around :/
