This might help. Or use the Advanced Search function and search for "reboot" with "Search titles only" tagged. Edited by water

By writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

And using command line options (switches).

edit: or do what water said.

You have to do more than that. Since Sakshi used the term pause or sleep, I assume they wanted to continue where the script left off. This will just cause the script to run again from scratch when windows restarts.

If you want to jump to where you left off you need to set some thing you can test to see if it is running the 1st time or after the reboot. This can be done in probably an infinite amount of ways depending on what your script does or changes the 1st time it is run. Or you could always just call it with a parameter when you make the registry addition and do something different based on that. Remember though that none of the variables from the 1st run will be in memory after the computer restarts so if any are needed for the 2nd run you need to find them again or store them somewhere before the restart.

Edit: Actually trancexx did say "And using command line options (switches)." I guess he caught that too.

I am currently working on a program that requires reboots and the program has to pickup basically were it left off. I do not know if this will help you but what I did was used Select/case with settings.ini file that holds my important variables that I will need after the reboot.

Example of how I did it.

$prog = IniRead (@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "");;reads the progress of the installation
$Progress = int ($prog);;I found(with help) that you will need to change the value to integer, if you do not it will not work after reboot 


Select
     Case $Progress < 1
          ;;This is were I put my code for the begining of the script/program
          IniWrite (@ScriptDir & "\setting.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "1")

     Case $Progress = 1
          ;;This is were I put my code for the first reboot
          IniWrite (@ScriptDir & "\setting.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "2")
     Case $Progress = 2
          ;;And code for second reboot
          IniWrite (@ScriptDir & "\setting.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "3")

EndSelect

and you could continue case for as many reboots needed.

This is just a suggestion. May or may not help.

forgot to mention that i was using trancexx's method to recall the program durring reboot with a progressbar and 1 min worth of sleeps

$prog = IniRead (@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "");;reads the progress of the installation
$Progress = int ($prog);;I found(with help) that you will need to change the value to integer, if you do not it will not work after reboot 


Select
     Case $Progress < 1
          ;;This is were I put my code for the begining of the script/program
          IniWrite (@ScriptDir & "\setting.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "1")
          RegWrite ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ScannerSetup", "REG_SZ",@ScriptDir & "\setup_.bat")
     Case $Progress = 1
          ;;Example of my common code
          ProgressOn ("Scanner Installation Step 4", "Installation Will continue", "0 Complete")
      For $i = 1 to 100 step 1
        sleep(300)
        ProgressSet( $i, $i & " Complete")
      Next
      ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "Complete")
      sleep(2000)
      ProgressOff()
          ;;This is were I put my code for the first reboot
          IniWrite (@ScriptDir & "\setting.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "2")
        
     Case $Progress = 2
          ;;Example of my common code
          ProgressOn ("Scanner Installation Step 4", "Installation Will continue", "0 Complete")
      For $i = 1 to 100 step 1
        sleep(300)
        ProgressSet( $i, $i & " Complete")
      Next
      ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "Complete")
      sleep(2000)
      ProgressOff()
          ;;And code for second reboot
          IniWrite (@ScriptDir & "\setting.ini", "Installation_Progress", "Progress", "3")
          Regdelete ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ScannerSetup")
EndSelect

I think that is all of it.

Another example I posted already a couple of times which worked for me with several software roll-outs that required to be logged-on as LocalAdmin and reboots.

; pgm name Install_With_Reboots.AU3

$Psw = "adminpsw"
; Remove autologin params from registry to clean up
SetAutoLogon("Off", "")

$param1 = ""
If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    $param1 = $CmdLine[1]
EndIf
; Act on it
Select
    Case $param1 = ""
        ; run your programs with admin account if needed in the first step      
        ; *** put your stuff here for step1 ***
        RunAs($Userid, @ComputerName, $Psw, Default,"notepad.exe step1.txt")
        SetAutoLogon("On", "step1")
        Shutdown(6)
    Case $param1 = "step1"
        ; is already logged on with admin account
        ;
        ; *** put your stuff here for step2 ***
        RunWait("notepad.exe step2.txt")
        ;
        SetAutoLogon("On", "step2")
        Shutdown(6)
    Case $param1 = "step2"
        ; logoff the admin account
        ; *** put your stuff here for step3 ***
        RunWait("notepad.exe step3.txt")

I do need to login automatically i just want that where the script left for shutdown

it should start executing from the place it left i.e. resume but your script is restarting after reboot.

You mean something like Commander Data after the service or maybe Seven of Nine after her regeneration cycle?

Is that it?

Only... that's happening in some imaginary future.

No what i want is something like what happens when we install windows in our Pc.

It does some task and then in between it asks for reboot and when we do so it starts further course of action.

same is the case with me .
