script to run program at startup?
I apologize if this is a very basic question or one that has been
discussed before, but I wanted to know if there is a way to have a specific program run by itself at startup on win98. I know absolutely noting about scripts, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks |

script to run program at startup?
Thanks. Now is there a way for a particular action to be selected
within that program, or is this more indept than I want to go? What I would like to happen is for this program to start and then go into a slideshow mode with no action from the pc user. |

Yes -- but only if you can express this command using one of the elemental modules that make up Win98 e.g. USER.EXE (with parameters to suit.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

What I would like to happen is for this program to start and then go into a slideshow mode with no action from the pc user. Look into the help functions of the prog. in question, and see if it has "command line parameters" or "... options" or similar; for example, if it's IrfanView, of which the executable is usually i_view.exe, then i_view32 /slideshow=txtfile will start it in slideshow mode with the files in that file, or i_view32 /slideshow=folder will slideshow from that folder. I'm not sure if you can put the command parameters into the shortcut file, but if not, put (pathname)\i_view /slideshow=whatever (with full pathname for whatever) into a text file, rename that text file from xyz.txt to abc.bat, and put it into your startup folder (the actual ..bat file itself, not a shortcut to it, though that may also work). Obviously, amend to suit your application (though for what sounds like a kiosk function, IrfanView is probably as good as any, and certainly quicker than most). |
