How to make a script autorun?

[jsteng]

Hi,

I have been plagued by my wife and kids leaving the computer on overnight.  No matter how many times I reprimand them, they still oftentimes forget to turn off the machine.

And because all our files (My Document folder and Desktop) are stored on a NAS, Window's auto-hibernate does not work when MS Word/Excel has an open network file...

THIS had gone for YEARS!

So I happened to find some Autoit codes in this forum and combined some of them to make a Force Hibernate:

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)
; #FUNCTION#;===============================================================================
;
; Name...........: _Timer_GetIdleTime()
; Description ...: Returns the number of ticks since last user activity (i.e. KYBD/Mouse)
; Syntax.........: _Timer_GetIdleTime()
; Parameters ....: None
; Return values .: Success - integer ticks since last (approx. milliseconds) since last activity
;                 Failure - Sets @extended = 1 if rollover occurs (see remarks)
; Author ........: PsaltyDS at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum
; Modified.......: v1.0.0  --  03/20/2008 First version
;                 v1.0.1  --  06/11/2008 Fixed bug when idle time = 0ms
; Remarks .......: The current ticks since last system restart will roll over to 0 every 50 days or so,
;                 which makes it possible for last user activity to be before the rollover, but run time
;                 of this function to be after the rollover.  If this happens, @extended = 1 and the
;                 returned value is ticks since rollover occured.
; Related .......: _CheckIdle()
; Link ..........;
; Example .......; Yes
;
;;==========================================================================================
Func _Timer_GetIdleTime()   ; Get ticks at last activity
    Local $tStruct = DllStructCreate("uint;dword");
    DllStructSetData($tStruct, 1, DllStructGetSize($tStruct));
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tStruct))

    ; Get current ticks since last restart
    Local $avTicks = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "GetTickCount")

    ;Return time since last activity, in ticks (approx milliseconds)
    Local $iDiff = $avTicks[0] - DllStructGetData($tStruct, 2)
    If $iDiff >= 0 Then ; Normal return
        Return $iDiff
    Else            ; Rollover of ticks counter has occured
        Return SetError(0, 1, $avTicks[0])
    EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>_Timer_GetIdleTime

GLOBAL $MaxIdleTime = 30 * 60 * 1000
local $idle = 0
Global $x = @DesktopWidth - 20
Global $y = @DesktopHeight - 10
func Print($text)
    ToolTip($text, $x, $y, "", 0, 2)
endfunc
While 1
    if _Timer_GetIdleTime() > $MaxIdleTime then
        Print ("IDLE")
        _SetSuspend()
        while  _Timer_GetIdleTime() > $MaxIdleTime
            sleep(1000)
        wend
    endif
    Print(stringformat("%0.0f", _Timer_GetIdleTime()/1000))
    sleep(1000)
wend

 

So now, how do i make this script autorun everytime windows is loaded up?

THanks!

Use the startup folder

[caramen]

You can use start up folder

you can use planed task with task sheduler

you can use registry
