Startup Scripts

[dnsi]

I got a auto it program and i want it to load whenever a user logs on.

It would be very helpful if someone knows how.

Thanks

I'm not that sure about this, but I *think* you can just create a shortcut in the "Startup" folder. I also would like an answer to this question so I can use it in one of my programs.

Well, I guess you want the script to add itself in. This is what you can use.

RegWrite('HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'AddValueNameHere', 'Reg_sz', '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')

[pecloe]

or like jackyyll mentioned if you don't want to write to the registry put a shortcut here

C:\Documents and Settings\User or All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

[dnsi]

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

careful with puting things in the startup folder, many virus protection programs will view things not know to them as trojans/virus's

can you give a example script thanks

[greenmachine]

That is the example script.

[Evil_Has_Survived]

That is the example script.

so i just add it to my script, and you don't need runonce or run in order tell it how many times to do it,

You won't know if it does anything or not till you reboot/logon

just because you put in the registry in the run key, doesn't make it automagically run.

you compiled it?

ran it one time so it would write the entry into the registry?

if so it should work next time you logon.

[PerryRaptor]

Also, When booting the computer/workstation in Safe Mode; Items in the ...\All Users\Programs\Startup folder do not execute. Same goes for the Registry Key ...\Run.

[caramen]

Ave you change 'AddValueNameHere' ?

maybe stupid question but we dont know maybe ...

RegWrite('HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'AddValueNameHere', 'Reg_sz', '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"')

[dnsi]

Same here it doesn't work!

[blindwig]

Did you check the registery key to see that it had actually been added?

Does your script do anything to prove that it has run? Like write a file or something?

Also I think that a Limited Used will not be able to run the items in the Run and RunOnce key, so if you're trying to use a limited user to test it with it won't work.

[dnsi]

Nope the startup folder doesn't work!

[dnsi]

The reg works its just the startup folder.
