Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 You wanna make a scrip that starts programs when windows starts...

Valik Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Are you intending to do Linux or cross-platform programming? Otherwise, you don't need Linux for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valik Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberFunk Productions Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) 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.
