Running Batch File in background when windows boots up
Add your program in the registry:
Run - These are the most common startup locations for programs to install auto start from. By default these keys are not executed in Safe mode. If you prefix the value of these keys with an asterisk, *, is will run in Safe Mode.Registry Keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry keyHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key
Then you can launch your batch in an invisible mode:
wscript.exe "C:\yourpath\invis.vbs" "your_file.bat"
In invis.vbs put...
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
Two other startup posibilties:
- you could always add the bat file to the startup folder,
- or start it as a Scheduled task setting to run on logon.
