For your first question, you can do this in gpedit.msc. Windows Settings > Scripts.

Your second question is answered in the FAQ. Q11

RegWrite & HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Search forum for details

And how i can make a program that start himself as the cumputer starts up ??

Make your script to run all the time and use

GUIRegisterMsg  & WM_ENDSESSION

Look at MSDN for details

To set:

RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','Your App Name','REG_SZ',@ScriptDir & '\YourAppName.exe')

To reset:

RegDelete('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','Your App Name')

Try this for the shutdown message

$WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011

GUICreate("ShutDownNotificationGui")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, "_ShutdownInitiated")
GUISetSTate(@SW_HIDE)

While 1
    sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _ShutdownInitiated($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)
   Msgbox(0,"","Shutting down")
    Return True
EndFunc

WM_QUERYENDSESSION is called also in case of user log-off

so you must distinguish "kind of event" inside your function.

Its quite easy, just look at MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa376890(VS.85).aspx

lParam

This parameter can be one or more of the following values. If this parameter is 0, the system is shutting down or restarting (it is not possible to determine which event is occurring).

...

lParam

If this parameter is zero, the system is shutting down or restarting (it is not possible to determine which event is occurring).

$WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011

GUICreate("ShutDownNotificationGui")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, "_ShutdownInitiated")
GUISetSTate(@SW_HIDE)

While 1
    sleep(10)

Func _ShutdownInitiated($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)
   If $WParam = 0 Then Msgbox(0,"","Shutting down")
   If BitAnd($WParam,0x80000000) = 0x80000000 Then Msgbox(0,"","logging off")
