Launching from startup and using command line data entry

trackerman

Hi there,
I'm trying to set up an application so that it automatically starts when the PC starts, but I also want the application to run setup file.

the applocation in question does acceppt command line input

The example given in it's help file is...
VSPEmulator.exe c:/config_files/main.vspe
This should launch th application and run a file called main.vspe

I'm able to have the aplication start by puting a shortcut into the "startup" section, but I can't figure how to run the command line automatically???

OS is win 7

Thanks,
Ray

Use HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \Run and pop it in there as a reg_sz

Wow, way too complicated for me I'm afraid...

me and regedit don't get on....

FSL

Navigate to HKey_Local_Machine \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \Run
In the right hand portion of the screen right click and chose New string value. Give it a name then right click on the name and choose modify
then in the text box paste (including the quotation marks) "VSPEmulator.exe c:/config_files/main.vspe"

Click OK and that's all there is to it

Got it, cheers.
