I think you can do it this way on Win2k/XP:

Start > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
Use the wizard to make your script run every time computer starts.

i can make the script run manually
but the problem is that i want to make another script to do it for me.(using the startup or regedit)thx any way.

Using windows registry create an entry in the Run node.



For more registry info :: Manage the Programs Run at Windows Startup

You will have to be sure the exe is in the same directory on every computer. The above script will only create an entry if the file exists.

I normally put my boot ahk's or exe's here


%A_Startup% or %A_StartupCommon%

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have progs that write scripts automatically to %A_Startup%, the progs are changing every time the machine boots. VERY USEFUL, TRUST ME !

Another advantage to putting them in the Startup folder is that they can be easily accessed from the start menu. Also, you can edit the shortcuts in a file manager rather than the clunkier regedit or by Reg commands.

thx guys i will try
