Is it possible to have an AC tool script run at start up of your computer? Having AC tool turn on is no problem, but how would getting the script to run work? If AC Tool wouldn't be able to do this, does anybody know of a script program I can use to click the startbutton on AC Tool when windows is turned on?


Thanks.

yes from what little i know about ACTool it is possible, how? you'd get quicker answers on the ACTool website i think.

Dude, you can run whatever you want at startup. They even make this crazy folder that will execute all of its contents at startup. Have you guessed the folders name? Its called Startup. Assuming you are running XP, go to Start -> All Programs and look at the list, you will see Startup.


Slap together a .bat file or an .exe or whatever and throw it in that folder. Couldn't be easier.


There are a lot of other ways, but this one probably fits the audience best. Good luck.


And remember... Macro ergo sum!

The windows scheduler could do it, also AutoIt and all other Macro Tools for Windows...

yeah, i can make a macro easy... i can make the program run on startup, but i can't make the SCRIPT run automatically. they all seem to require pushing the start button.

ACTool has command line options. 1 of which is /Start

I can get it to open, just not start...


"C:\Program Files\AC Tool\aaaa.mac" -start

just opens it

"C:\Program Files\AC Tool\aaaa.mac" /start

just opens it too =/


opening aaaa.mac, the macro script, then running


C:\Program Files\AC Tool\start.bat which has the command line "C:\Program Files\AC Tool\aaaa.mac" /start doesn't work...


This is my first time trying to use a .bat or this type of scripting if you hadn't noticed....

I can get a file to open ac tool, can anybody help with making it start? i did some looking around in help files and online but didn't find anything to do anything but open ac tool. nothing about making it do a command like /start.
