Run script on startup?

[SweatyOgre]

I'd like to write a simple script to run a few programs as soon as I start up my computer. How can I add a program/script that I wrote in autoit to the startup list?

Registry: add an entry to RUN..

Startup: add shortcut to stratup group.

lots of posts made on both items.. just search...

You wanna make a scrip that starts programs when windows starts... I made a script that disables programs when windows starts =). Hey, does AutoIt work with linux JdeB?

[Valik]

AutoIt v3 is a BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI.

Read that sentence and tell me what you think the answer to your question is.

Too bad =(. I know that AutoIt was meant for Windows, but I just thought that it might be possible for it to work on another OS. Damnet. I'm getting Linux on one of my backup computers, for C++ java and Python scripting. I was hoping I could use it for AutoIt also.

Are you intending to do Linux or cross-platform programming? Otherwise, you don't need Linux for that.

If doing cross-platform programming, it would be good to try to have a copy of all platforms you intend to support to test on to ensure that it truly is cross-platform.

hey SweatyOgre, i've done this b4, heres a really easy example.

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"...,

^^^^This part is the path to the registry run folder.

"Program X",...

^^^ this is the name of your registry entry

"REG_SZ",...

^^^This is your registry type(leave as is)

"C:\Program X\ProgramX.exe")

^^^and finally this is the path to the file you want to run at start-up

in the end it should look like it does below:

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Program X", "REG_SZ", "C:\Program X\ProgramX.exe")

Also look in the help file under writing registry keys

hope that helps you out.
