[Garrett19212]

How can i make the script move itself to the startup folder so it will run everytime you start ur comp.

I mean like wats the code to make it move itself to that folder.

u dont put it in a folder to run on startup... u need to put it in the registry

i forget the key name sry

Ther are a few places in the registry u can put a ref.

If it's only once the script should run then.

1. the script only runs under current user

2. is global or for all users

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce]

"NAME"="PATH TO FILE" ; Eg. "C:\\MY file.exe" rember to use \\ and not \ in paths

or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]

"NAME"="PATH TO FILE" ; Eg. "C:\\MY file.exe" rember to use \\ and not \ in paths

If you want it to run every time the ps starts, then you have 2 choices.

1. the script only runs under current user

2. is global or for all users

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"NAME"="PATH TO FILE" ; Eg. "C:\\MY file.exe" rember to use \\ and not \ in paths

or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"NAME"="PATH TO FILE" ; Eg. "C:\\MY file.exe" rember to use \\ and not \ in paths

rember to use \\ and not \ in paths

Only *.reg files use \\ for registry entries. Not Autoit or Reg.exe.

U'r right. I should have mentionet it in my post.

Im still new to AutoIt, and still have hangovers form dos programming where i call *.reg files. :-)

So wat would the code be for it to copy its self to the registry to it starts up every time

[steveR]

$regPath = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
$progName = "Notepad"
$filePath = "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
regWrite($regpath, $progName, "REG_SZ", $filePath)

[Garrett19212]

$regPath = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
$progName = "Notepad"
$filePath = "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
regWrite($regpath, $progName, "REG_SZ", $filePath)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Wat would it be for my program? Say the name of it is test.exe

Would it be

$regPath = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
$progName = "test"
$filePath = "C:\Windows\test.exe"
regWrite($regpath, $progName, "REG_SZ", $filePath)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

[steveR]

Yes, only if test.exe is in C:\Windows\

[MHz]

This might be easier ?

$regPath = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
$progName = StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 4)
$filePath = FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath)
regWrite($regpath, $progName, "REG_SZ", $filePath)

How would i do an

If Than Else

for it?

Like

If it already exsists in the registry for startup than end if

Else create it in the registry for start up

End If

You need to create a $var = regread(String)

$var = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "String")
if Not $var = "prog.exe" then
MsgBox(0, "Prog","Dont exist")
Else
MsgBox(0, "Prog", "Eksist")
EndIf
