Hello look on the Help files from Autoit3!

FileDelete(@scriptDir & "\Test.exe")

FileInstall("Test.exe", @ScriptDir & "Test.exe")

do i need to include a script that will delete my script?

i got a script that runs a loop forever

do i need to fileinstall a deletion script somewhere.... then run it on reboot?

i mean i can do this guys., it just seems bulky.

i would rather just use some quick easy code that will delete the script on next bootup.

basically, i just want to delete the script after it has run once..... but it never will delete itself if its in an infinite loop.

while 1

If Not(RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "YourFileHere.ext")) Then

RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "delete.exe", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)

fileinstall("c:/delete.exe")

EndIF

wend

something like that?

can it be done without using 2 scripts?
