Hi! I would create a program that displays the program that start automatically at windows startup...but i have not idea how to create it...can you help me...please!...exuse me but i don't english...because my english is very bad!

Hello!

[dbzfanatic]

You need to look at reading the registry and startup folder. Then you can list the programs.

[AuToItItAlIaNlOv3R]

I do not know how to identify automatically to my program, the programs that start automatically at windows startup...can you help me...the key of reg that display the program startup is that.

[dbzfanatic]

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run should be all you need to read for the most part.

[AuToItItAlIaNlOv3R]

i'm used thi function but it don't work:

$var=RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","Run")
Msgbox(1,"warning!","That program are automatically startup:"&$var)

Can you help me!!!

At http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963902.aspx you'll find AUTORUN by Sysinternals.

That'll give you an idea what is autostartet and what Registry Keys are used.

Change your code to check the error code:

$var=RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","Run")
Msgbox(1,"warning!","That program are automatically startup: " & $var & " @Error: " & @error)oÝ÷ Ø·[§i¹^¶)zzު笵çoj[b«r^¶¸²Ú+y§Zr©ë^²æí­ç+"²z-²êi¢»^u¼z^iÐ^¶×«¶¼¬¢g­)à)jëh×6$Path = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
For $i= 1 to 9999999
    $name = RegEnumVal($Path, $i)
    If @error <> 0 then ExitLoop
    $value = RegRead($Path,$name)
    MsgBox(4096, "SubKey #" & $i & " under " & $Path,"Name: " & $name & ", Value: " & $value)
Next

up...somebody help me!

i dont think its possible with autoit

$var=RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","QuickTime Task")
MsgBox(4096, "Program files are in:", $var)

this works for me , but its only possible to read values of names you know exist. theres no function that can return the value of entry i.

me idea it's to create a software in autoit that display the programs that start automatically at windows startup, and can activate and deactivate the autostart...type the program ccleaner www.ccleaner.com/ ...it's possible with autoit? thank's...

[ProgAndy]

You didn't read the post 7. it IS possible with RegEnumVal

Edited October 24, 2008 by ProgAndy

[AuToItItAlIaNlOv3R]

yes i've understand...but with the comand RegEnumVal i can watch the program in startup...but if i would like to disattive and activate this program how can I do?...please is important for me!...can we post an example...

Yeah you can...

#include <array.au3>
Local $aRunKey

_RegKeyEnumtoArray("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run",$aRunKey)
_ArrayDisplay($aRunKey)

Func _RegKeyEnumtoArray($vKey, ByRef $avArray)
    
    If Not IsArray($avArray) then Dim $avArray[1][2]
    $avArray[0][0] = 0
    Local $i = 1
    While 1
        $var = RegEnumVal($vKey,$i)
        If @error then ExitLoop
        Redim $avArray[$i +1][2]
        $avArray[$i][0] = $Var
        $avArray[$i][1] = RegRead($vKey,$Var)
        $i +=1
    WEnd
    $avArray[0][0] = $i -1
    
EndFunc

... please is important for me!...

Why is it important for you to reinvent this wheel in AutoIt?

For those willing to help on this:

The OP has stated that he can enumerate the reg keys

The OP now wants help on the enable/disable code

My understanding is he will want to do in AutoIt all that this tool does:

http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

While you are at it - you might as well write the code that mimics this tool as well:

http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml

i don't want a software! i would create a software!...is possible in autoit?

[AuToItItAlIaNlOv3R]

up...

[YourSpace]

no one is giving you a software.

we give example of a software to make english people be knowing of what you want better!

Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your own thread to the first page of the forum.

I think that your question has been answered. Yes - you can write code in AutoIt to do what you have asked. Yes - the AutoIt code can list, disable and re-enable settings that would start a program automatically.

Sorry, I can not help you much more than to help other understand what you want. It would take me quite a while to figure out the exact AutoIt code. Maybe someone else can help you get started.

You might want to have your AutoIt code follow the method used by StartupCPL. That tool creates a registry entry of items that it has changed.

For example, when you uncheck an item listed under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

StartupCPL moves the entry from that reg key to its own.

When you check the item again - StartupCPL moves it back.

Happy coding :-)

Ok, lets stop bumping our thread and explain what you need done. If one has the time, they will possible HELP, not WRITE, HELP you at your dilemma. Please be patient and EXPLAIN what you want done.

Anything is possible in AutoIt.
