Starting various programs at startup (with one click)
This is probably terribly easy and can be done with some 3rd party tools but im a total idiot when it comes to things like this.
Id like to have some programs (tracker, PAhud, FPHG, ...) to either open @ windows startup or be opened with one click. Any ideas how? Thanks. |

Re: Starting various programs at startup (with one click)
Batch files are a good way to do this. They're basically a list of text commands that get executed when you double click them. For example, here's a batch file to start PokerTracker and PAHUD:
@echo off start "" "%programfiles%\Poker Tracker V2\ptrack2.exe" start "" "%programfiles%\PokerAce Hud\pahud.exe" To make a batch file, open notepad, paste the text, go to file> save as, go to "save as type" and select "all files". Then name the file whateveryouwant.bat You can then double click this file to run your programs. To add extra programs to the list, just add a new line with: start "" "the full path of the program" You can get the full path by right clicking on the icon you use to start the program and choosing properties. Copy the text under "target" including the quotes, and put it where after start "" with a space in between. |

If you are ok with doing more than just one click or are not always opening the same 3 programs try looking at The Opener. It is an AHK script with a configurable window GUI that will launch programs.

Re: Starting various programs at startup (with one click)
Start > Programs > Startup. Right-click on "Startup" and choose "open". Startup folder will open. There you can copy/create <u>shortcuts</u> (same as you have on your desktop) to your programs. The programs will run automatically at Windows startup.
