Registering an installed projector to start on boot?

[Dunga]

Well as I understand it, all I should have to do is to make a shortcut to my installer in the Startup folder, as returned by Shell.getSpecialFolder("startup"). My script looks like this:

var startupFolder = Shell.getSpecialFolder("startup");
var shortcut = new Shortcut(startupFolder);
shortcut.targetPath = Application.cmdLine;
shortcut.save();

And it doesn't work... using hard-coded variables works though. Does anyone have an example of how to do this sort of thing?

Edit: I've used the registry to do it now, but I would still like to know why the shortcut thing wouldn't work.

hello! another simple work.... it is the game of registry.. dont put your app shortcut into startup folder. just attack the operating system;s registrry...

If you know how to put Key in OS registry... then target following key using SWFKit RegKey object:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run\YourApp

in YourApp (A key value) write a complete path of your app Wherever you install it.... jus find path of your Application and put into it.

it will start your application on each windows startup.

i hope this will also help you out.

;D

Well... Thats what I though worked that I mentioned in my edit. I think it registered properly (a small program that checks for startup changes popped up and said it had), but today I tested it, and it doesnt work. I'll take a look into my registry again, I guess.

The name of the shortcut hasn't been specified properly in your sample. Please try the following code

var startupFolder = Shell.getSpecialFolder("startup");
trace(startupFolder);

var shortcut = new Shortcut(startupFolder + "\\test.lnk");
shortcut.targetPath = getExeName();

var args = "";
for (i = 0; i < Application.cmdItems.length; i++)
args += Application.cmdItems[i] + " ";

shortcut.arguments = args;
shortcut.save();
