A mIRC script can't know when you login to Windows since mIRC isn't running when you login to Windows.

Just make a link to mirc.exe in the Startup folder of your Start Menu or alternately create a registry entry in either:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

First of all put qwerty's $regwrite in remote.

Code:
alias regwrite {
  var %a = regwrite $+ $ticks
  .comopen %a WScript.Shell
  if $comerr { return 0 }
  if d isin $3 { var %3 = REG_DWORD, %type = ui4 }
  elseif b isin $3 { var %3 = REG_BINARY, %type = ui4 }
  else { var %3 = REG_SZ, %type = bstr }
  if $com(%a,RegWrite,3,bstr,$1,%type,$2,bstr,%3) { 
    .comclose %a
    return 1 
  }
  .comclose %a
  return 0
}


Now type:

Code:
//.echo -q $regwrite(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\mIRC\,$+(",$mircexe,"),s)

Heh... that's what I was thinking. Why suggest someone go through the registry? It's easier to just set it up in the startup folder. smile

Problem is in locating the the startup folder, since it can be anywhere.

Both the locating of the startup folder and the writing of shortcuts can be done with COM, on all OS'es from Windows 98 and onwards.

And that is starting to get harder than just writting to the reg, thats all im meaning.

Not that its a bad thing, but you can also stop the startup group running. (hold shift down i thinks)

Nah, it's fairly easy, I've done it before laugh

But anyway it's not so important...the OP has been helped, let's move along.

Please define "anywhere", because on all of the machines that I have looked in, the Startup folder for individual accounts has always been in the same place.
"C:\Documents and Settings\[User name]]Start Menu\Programs\Startup" and if it is not there, then it will be somewhere very close.

In addition - this is a "do once" issue:" The member just creates a shortcut in there, no need for fancy scripting , no need for "dangerous" registry edits. A simple task that even I can do without breaking anything!

Cheers,

DK

True. Yes, the startup folder can be in more than one place (each user account, plus all users). However, you only need to place a link in your startup folder, or in the all users one if you want it to start up for every account.
