Auto run script

[Systems By]

Hi everyone. I have a quick question. I have a script that runs when a user first starts up their computer. I want to be able to set a timer to run the script again after a defined amount of time just in case the user does not shut down his/hr computer. What would be the easiest way to do this?

Keep the script open with a while/wend loop, and use TimerInit/TimerDiff.

maybe...

$start = @HOUR & ":" & @MIN + 2 ; for testing

While 1

    $start2 = @HOUR & ":" & @MIN

    If $start = $start2 Then
        Run("notepad.exe")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf

    ToolTip("Start Time = " & $start & @CRLF & "Real Time = " & $start2, 20, 20, "Time Machine", 1)
    Sleep(2000)

WEnd
Exit

8)

Thanks for the tip. It worked. My only issue now is that my application uses 100% of the CPU while the timer is ticking away. Is there something I can do to keep this from happening?

Post your code that causes this - 'cuz the code that Valuater posted should not do that.

I just figured it out I commented out the sleep after the tooltip. Thanks!

The CPU needs its sleep - just like I do... :-)
