How to add a "load on startup" option ?

Also, how to let a scrip run "without" to show up in the system tray ?

Anybody knows how ?

Thanks
:)
Rene

As BoBo would say, "Sounds suspicious... :evil: "

Look at #NoTrayIcon. There isn't a command to load on startup, but you can dump the file into the start up folder.

Below script will add and later launch the notepad at the startup.

Code:
RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe

I don't think, that it is a good idea, to show how to start scripts hidden and automatically, too much script-kiddies out there

True.

I can only hope that he had a good intention for its usage.
As a systems administrator, I have written many scripts that had to be run at the startup without the operator knowing it. So the system is functional and as secure as possible at the same time.

Hm so, no easy way to do such a standard thing ?
Most of the tray tools I use have,
"Start at Windows startup/logon"
and some also
"Show in system tray"
it is a usual configuration option... :?

Isn't Pasukun's way easy enough? Or is it FileCopy or FileMove commands hard to master? You have the solutions, and they are (mostly) those used by the softwares you mention.

sure, that would be easy to do, but this is not the point.
I would like to have an option on the gui, so the user can set up things by himself.

#NoTrayIcon is an easy function, but tweaking the registry don't seem to be very elegant for me.

all I want, are 2 checkboxes...


thanks to all of you, for your suggestions. :)

:D

:?: Then use the start up menu option.
Where are you stuck? You don't know how to make a GUI?

I had tried the gui-builder, a very nice and clever program,
but true, I have not made any tool with gui yet.

I think, you have to read the gui section of the fine Manual, first. Test the example scripts and try to make some on your own.

I think after learning the basics, like "Tutorial (quick start)", on the Contents section of the AHK help file. It is easiest to then search the index and look at all the commands. Theres some stuff I cant find using the index though, and they can be found using the search option. Anywas, I guess what I'm trying to say is the manual is great, but you have to know how to search it. Even then I still find myself asking question's on the forums all the time :lol:

I dont understand that script at all. LOL I'm sure there could be an easier way by just using Filecopy, Filemove, and use the
%A_StartMenuCommon% variable. How would you make the menu tray text change when you have it set to run on startup then when it is switch to not run on startup? To get rid of it from startup you could just use "FileDelete" "%A_StartMenuCommon%Script/File.name"

That's exactly what this script does, with a refinement: instead of copying physically the whole script (which may be bad if it depends on files on its directory), it creates a shortcut to it: FileCreateShortcut. Of course, .ahk files must be associated to AutoHotkey's exe.
