Boris Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Like this sort of thing ?/>http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptoad.aspHave a job that should be run exactly once each day? Karen's Once-A-Day II is just what you need! The program lets you specify progams, web pages and files. Each will be run or opened automatically, the first time Windows starts each day, or the first time a particular user logs on each day. Start Windows, or log on, more than once in any given day and the programs, pages, and files will not be re-opened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin131086 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 it seems like they are all based on time and not location/events (like boot)or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In XP I think that this was turned off by default ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin131086 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have no clue how to write scripts... so if I cant find them premade I think I stick to turning it on on every boot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Windows Scripting is here to let you automate things. There are millions of things you can do with Windows, so logically there is no premade script for everything that can be done on Windows.Windows Scripting is very easy, once you understand the basic concept. You can start by having a look here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612There are also thousands of sample scripts available on the Internet, like http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/samples/ and many other places.There are also various forums, like our own http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php?showforum=101, where you can get help and support implementing certain scripts.
