startup reg key problem

[ludocus]

I tried:

RegWrite ('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'program', 'REG_SZ', @ScriptFullPath )

RegWrite ('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run' , 'program', 'REG_SZ', @ScriptFullPath )

but neither of them work.. I use windows XP,

and in my program is just a test code:

msgbox ( 0, 'test', 'test' )

no msgbox shows up when I reboot, but C:\My Documents folder comes up..

Whats the problem here?

1. In value name try to remove the dot

2. You are missing a quote after ( in the 2nd line

Works for me:

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "MyProgram", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)

MsgBox(0, "", "")

I'm using 3.2.10 and 3.2.11.5

Try FileCopy(@ScriptFullPath, @StartupDir)

[ludocus]

but.. it's just.. not... proffessional.. you know.?!

Lol, couldn't find anything "professional". I think you already know this, but take a look here http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Startup.htm

Did you try to compile your script before putting it in the start up folder? If you didn't, it will not work. If you want it to work without having to compile it use:

@AutoItEXE & " " & @ScriptFullPath

Your path is something like this

C:\Documents and Settings\Some Folder\.....

and breaking at the first space character.

So use quotes with a path that may contain a space character or more.

RegWrite('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run' , 'program', 'REG_SZ', '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')

The script needs to be compiled for the above example code to work.

I can not get anything to add ito my registry, seems similar to this. I am trying to create a new string value. But it never shows up. Client is Windows Vista.

$date = (@MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR)
MsgBox (0, "date and time", $date)

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Company", "Refresh", "REG_SZ", "date") ;tried using text only to see if it would work
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Company", "Refresh", "REG_SZ", "$date")oÝ÷ Ú«¨µéÚ

Solved my own issue here. Seems I was missing a requires piece of code needed due to Vista UAC.

#RequireAdmin

As soon as I get home I'll try it..

But I don't have Vista
