what not just add a shortcut to the program to the useracct\programs\startup folder or is that not what u are wanting to do, after that could export the regsitry entry for it.

only works a cmd file

what about adding it to the registry via the run file so it starts up everytime.....

not a shortcut, but copy bginfo.exe into startup folder...!

BGInfo - SysInternals

Installation and Use

There is no device driver component to BGInfo, so you can run it like any Win32 program.

By placing BGInfo in your Startup folder you can ensure that the system information being displayed is up to date each time you boot. Once you've settled on the information to be displayed use the command line option /timer:0 to update the display without showing the dialog box.

So, copy bginfo.exe to

$OEM$\$Docs\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (All users ??)

see also loading saved config files (appearance and what-not) at same page at SysInternals.

No, don't put the executable into the Startup folder. Just put a shortcut into Startup and you can then add in the parameters to use your own config file and such.

I put a shortcut into the All Users Startup group and it works perfectly.

No, don't put the executable into the Startup folder. Just put a shortcut into Startup

that is what i have been saying to..............are those parameters added to the registry?

[mmarable]

No, just create a basic shortcut and put any parameters on the Target line. Make sure you have the path to the BGInfo.exe file in there as well. Drop that into $OEM$\Docs$\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and you're good to go.

that is the way i would do it, i wanted to see if u were adding them to the registry, this way is alot easier..........
