Ok, if I've got a .bat file for-instance at c:\runonce.bat..... how in AHK, can I issue a command to Windows to run that file after re-booting? -~Y

Create an AutoHotkey script, say for example run_runonce.bat.ahk and put it in your AutoStart folder of Windows.
Code:
Run, "c:\runonce.bat", c:\

If you want hide the command line window:
Code:
Run, "c:\runonce.bat", c:\, hide

Look at the help file for more informations about Run command in AutoHotkey.

Hi Tuncay, Smile Very Happy Is there anyway to do this other than placing a file in a fixed location?

Which file do you mean, the ahk script or the batch file? Where would you like to put the files? May be on a USB stick?

I think Yanah is/was on a role.
Does anyone know of a way to run batch commands from within a AHK script?
