auto run

[Karen]

I put an exe file in win.ini:
[windows]
run=
It didn't run after I reboot the server(windows 2000
server). It didn't record anything in Event Viewer. Where
does it record?
I don't want put it under any sartup directories since it
will be terminerated after the person is logoff. What is
the best way to start and keep it running?

Thanks in advance!

Use the registry. It has a key in the registry that you
can use to do that. It's located under:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers
ion\Run]

A easy way to run tasks at boot time is to schedule them
with the Task Scheduler. You can even specify the account
under which they should run.
