LOL I was a little curious, if you made an .exe file could you stick it in the registry? I was working on this kick ass quadratic plotter, and my laptop is a little slow, and finding the file and starting it up is annoying. Is there anyway I can make the registry start it up when windows XP opens? Thats all my laptop is designed for ... so... help lol?

Is there a way I can add a command to startup to make it read it?

Can't you just stick it in the start up folder?

If there's a folder called "Startup" in the WINDOWS folder, it's probably it. I think there's also something in the start menu.

C:\Documents and settings\(your username)\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

your username is the name that apears at the top of the start menu.

And what's really good is that you can automatically get the username:
code:
put "Hello ", Sys.GetUserName, " on ", Sys.GetComputerName
