How can you set the program to start with windows?

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

Yes know how to do it that way. was looking more at doing it from the script it's self if I could.

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.

Maybe have a button that sets it in the registry?

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

[Candle]

That just put a ahk acript in the allusers programs startup folder name autorun?

I will just use a registry file to do it with.

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 .
