On Startup

[Guest]

I dont know if this is the right place for this question, hopefully it is.
After i login into my computer (Windows Xp Pro) i want a specific web page to
load then about 30 or more seconds later i want outlook to startup up
automatically. I can get the web page to load after i login automatically but
i dont know how to setup a 30 second delay for outlook to start. Help!

AutoIt is one of the best languages to handle this type of task with.
For example:

Run("start http://whatever.com")
sleep(30000)
WinClose("Webpage title here")
Run("C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe")

Should approximate to what you need.

http://www.autoitscript.com for the compiler.

Thanks for the reply..but is there another way of doing this..without using
the program autoitscript, im unfamiliar with the program and not sure on how
to use it

You could use a batch-file, although you will need a small utility to provide
the delay, as there is no delay command in batch-languge.

There is a software called AI Robot which can do automatic mouse click
and automatic key input. I used to use it to help me.
