Hi,

SetupBuilder has the function "Add Scheduled Task".

How can I add a task to run at boottime ?

Cheers,

Please ignore.

I am using a shortcut in "startup".

Hi Poul,

Just as an FYI - you could also place an entry in the Windows Registry with
SetupBuilder.

If this is something that needs to run all the time for every user, you
would place it in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

or to run only one time:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce


If it is for the current user only, you would place it in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

or to run only one time:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce


SetupBuilder makes it easy to add/remove these entries.

Just be aware that the installer needs to be running elevated in order for
you to write to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry node. Otherwise
Virtualization will occur there (just as if your program tried to write to
the protected Windows folder or the Program Files folder).

Good luck on your projects!

Charles

Thanks Charles,

I will give this some thought.
