Need VB code to add startup entry - commander - 02-23-2014
Hello [username],
I dont know vbscript. I have a vbscript with me which runs my batch program hidden. I want this vbscript to add itself to the windows startup so that it will run each time windows starts. I added it to startup manually by copying the vbscript to startup folder (in windows xp). But I want this to be done automatically once the script is executed. It would be great if it worked for both windows xp and windows 7.
This is the script I already have to run my program hidden(without gui):
Code:
Set WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "C:\start.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WinScriptHost = NothingHelp me please...
Thanks...

Why not just let the script copy itself to the folder?

I already said I dont know vbscript. Thought somebody here will give me a code that can be used to copy the script itself to the startup folder or add a startup entry in the registry.
Sorry for that rep offering.
