See FAQ: How do I put my hotkeys and hotstrings into effect automatically every time I start my PC?

How could the script do anything before it was started? I'm afraid you have to do something outside of AutoHotkey to get it to automatically start. It's not that difficult.

You could add startup registry entries.

This will force any script to autostart with windows next time, once it has been run:

Code:
SplitPath, A_Scriptname, , , , OutNameNoExt
LinkFile=%A_StartupCommon%\%OutNameNoExt%.lnk
IfNotExist, %LinkFile%
  FileCreateShortcut, %A_ScriptFullPath%, %LinkFile%
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%


:)

It actually puts a shortcut there .. and thats it.
That script should run everytime windows boots up

:)

Edit: Those are the beginning lines.. you should type the rest of the script, ofcourse.

Putting a link or copying the file itself to the common startup folder -like Skan recommended- is a nice way to do this if you want to allow the user/users to easily remove it, since most users don't even know what the registry is. Then again, you might not want that.

Well after asking around a little I found that most don't like it done so will not go down that route .
