Run on startup

[Vladi243]

I want to make the script run on startup by writing in the registry by the function RegWrite().

What's the keyname of "run on startup"?

[Jos]

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RUN", "MyProgram","REG_SZ", "C:\Directory\program.exe")

[Vladi243]

The last parameter is the directory of the script?

[RexRomae]

sure

sure

mmm.. not so sure.

The last parameter is the fully qualified path and program name to be ran at startup but I would have thought the example is pretty clear.

[Vladi243]

If I write it: @ScriptFullPath & ".exe"

Is it be OK?

No because if you write @ScriptFullpath extension will be include so you don't have to add ".exe"

These type of querstions could be answered without asking.

Just test it yourself by using a MSGBOX() to display the result.

You can find a lot of information by looking at the Online Documentation

You can find exactly what you are looking for here RegWrite

By using the information that you have gotten in the replies and the Help files you should have no problems with the startup.

Jos gave a prime example as is.

It's really hard to know why something does not work unless we can see some code.

Inetget() downloads a file from the net. It is the file that you are trying to run @ startup? And if so is an exe or a zip? Is the path to the downloaded file correct when you try to run it? Most of the questions you are going to be asked could easily be answered if we could see the code.

Also.. you should really start your own thread instead of adding to an old one.
