mladost1 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hey guys! I have a really simple question - do you happen to know how the pc can start a program or a file as soon as the computers starts without me being there? I want to try controlling ot from my other house and I want the script that connects to my other computer to be started as soon as Windows starts up.

Thanks If there's only one user on the PC (and therefore as soon as the computer starts, it logs onto their profile), you could just put a link (or your script itself) in %userprofile%\start menu\startupOtherwise, you'll have to run your script as a service (see the FAQs pinned at the top of this forum).

mahadeva Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 im not 100% but i think he means that you can put the scrupt in the start menu under: Start -> program -> autostart everything that is put in there is run everytime the user logs in so just drag and drop the script there and i think it should work or did you mean how to run it as a service?

spudw2k Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) You could also create a scheduled task to run at startup.

dzony91 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You can simply add this code: RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'namedoenstmatter', 'REG_SZ', @ScriptFullPath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ighost Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 or you can add it to windows service!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexterMorgan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 You can do something like this $Name = "programname.exe" FileCopy(@ScriptFullPath, @StartupDir & "/" & $name, 1) (Maybe it isnt right but i think it is good code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would do it this way Nooblet. Add a shortcut to the @StartupDir. $Name = "path\to\programname.exe" FileCreateShortcut($Name, @StartupDir & '\programname.lnk') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
