make a program then put it in the startup folder I believe it would be here C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Here's A Little Example.. That Should Help

** Copy And Run This Script.. **

ConsoleWrite ('@StartMenuCommonDir.. "' & @StartMenuCommonDir & '"' & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite ('@StartMenuDir.. "' & @StartMenuDir & '"' & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite ('@StartupCommonDir.. "' & @StartUpCommonDir & '"' & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite ('@StartupDir.. "' & @StartupDir & '"' & @CRLF)

; Example Placeing "Test.Au3" Into.. StartupDir 
; FileCopy ('Test.Au3', @StartupDir & '/Test.Au3') 

; Hope This Helps ~~~~~

hi,

if you put the program in this folder, the script is only executed, if someone is login to the computer. If you want to start a program at system startup, even if someone is logged on or not, create a task, which starts at system startup. See schtasks /? or schtasks /create /?

there are many ways like

Task Shedule

StartUp Folder

Registry Run

Run as service

but most effective is using registry run

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", @ScriptName, "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)

add this code in your script where you want the script to add startup run.

That's right, but keep in mind, that the program is running under localsystem credentials. This may cause other problems.

So you first have to check, what is your program doing and if you need special access rights (e.g. network share). Then you can decide, which way you use to start the script on system startup.
