Starting Program on Computer Startup

I have an executable LabView program that I would like to start running automatically when the computer is started. How can I do this? Thanks for the help.

In order to answer your question a few more details are needed. What is your OS? Are you using some flavor of Windows or some other OS? If Windows then you can start the program at login by including a shortcut in the Startup folder. You can access this by right clicking on the start button and clicking open and then going to the startup folder (which will probably be under the programs folder). Depending on the flavor of Windows you may be able to set the program to start for some users and not for others or to start for all users.

Autorun a program on computer startup

Hi all,
I have a doubt of how can I make a program autorun on windows startup (we'll leave Linux for later).
I have followed two ideas but in both cases I find the same problem.
- The first idea was to put an Icon on Start Menu / Programs / Startup. For this I have to search where this folder is and, to find it, I have to read the Windows registry.
- The second idea was to write directly on Windows registry so the program will start automatically on windows startup.
So to read or write the windows Registry I have to use JNIRegistry API (because Java itself has no other class to do it, instead a class that can read some certain points in the Registry that I don't need). I can import their classes (JNIRegistry) using a jar and develop with it. But a DLL it's needed too and I want to avoid them because I don't want to install DLLs on customers computers (this program is going to be distributed).
So, is there any other way to do these things avoiding the DLL thing or the need to read the Registry to find where de StartUp folder is?
Thanks in advance and if you don't understand it I'll try to explain better ;-)

Sorry, I thought that maybe it was not a especifically Swing thing and I have copied it here.
Delete it if you find it repetitive.

IPhoto starts automatically with computer startup

I recently installed a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro. After the install, now every time I start the computer, iPhoto starts automatically. Is there a setting that I can change to stop this. It's not a big problem, just a little annoying.

try right clicking on the iPhoto icon in the dock and making sure that the option to "Open at login" is not set

Office 2010 setup thru computer startup script

I am trying to install Office 2010 (sp2 seperate in the updates folder) thru group policy startup script and configured with OCT .msp file. Also try to start Access Runtime 2010 with SP2 update in the updates folder.
In group policy set run scripts asynchronisely disabled and run scripts visible enabled otherwise i could not see what the system was doiing also not when configiguring OCT with full display. The gpo settings lets the screens show during install so the user
can see what happens.
There is another problem that rises however: I have made 2 batchfiles and both are starting as a computer startup script in seperate gpo's (that is in another post). First the Accessruntime is installing, after that Office 2010 is running. Both are installed
after login but only one of the 2 have SP2 installed (7015) in this case Accessruntime has it. When i run only the Office 2010 install and not the Accesruntime 2010 then Office 2010 standard has also SP2 installed (version 7015). When running both only Runtime
has this sp2 and Office has 4763 this is without sp2 i believe.
In both folders (Office en Runtime) are the update files .msp in the updates folder of the installation, so thats ok.
Why is only 1 of the 2 installing the SP2 when running both?
A second thing is when restarting the system and before the login screen appears a message: Upgradepatch cannot be installed by Windows installer becasue the upgraded program does not excist of the upgradepatch is not suitable for this program?
Here is part of the batchfile:
IF EXIST "c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" (goto mkfile) ELSE (goto DeployOffice)
:mkfile
ECHO Office 2010 is reeds geinstalleerd>c:\temp\office.txt
goto end
:DeployOffice
call cscript \\sharename\office2010\Offscrub03.vbs ALL /bypass 1 /q /s /NoCancel
start /wait %DeployServer%\setup.exe /adminfile %DeployServer%\officeconfig.msp
echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >> %LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
Another batchfile
start \\sharename\accessruntime2010\setup.exe /config \\share\accessruntime2010\config.xml
REM echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >> %LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
freddie
after installing both runtime and office both have SP2 in updates folder:
runtime 4763
Office 2010: 7015
So in this example runtme is installed without the SP2. installing runtime alone gives with SP2...
The message is gone. There was a other policy inherited from above that caused the message. The only problem now is that when installing both, runtime 2010 with SP2 files and Office 2010 with SP2 files, then one of the two don't get the Sp2 installed, why
is that?

So it is NOT GP related but rather your script fails?!? Put some "echo
%~n0 %date% %time%>>Log-File-Of-Your-Choice.txt" in it to check what's
going on. And put ">>Log-File-Of-Your-Choice.txt 2>&1" at the end of
critical commands to capture their output.

Admin commandline? If not, you don't see computer settings :)

And if IT bothers me - coke bottle design refreshment :))
Martin,
I still did not figure out why the installation script did not work for some of the PCs, even though the PCs have the same image. For the ones that don't work, I will install manually. Can you please look at the screenshots of the GPO
settings I am using, and let me know if there is any settings that I need to remove or add?
Thanks

Start program automatically at Windows startup

Have a couple of programs that currently require manual start-up after Windows 2012 r2 Essential reboot. Would like to find out how to have the programs start automatically as part of the boot up process.

Hi IstMe,
Based on your description, I understand that you want to start some programs automatically when the server restart. If anything I misunderstand, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Please open Task Scheduler and create a task. Then click Triggers tab and configure
Begin the task: At startup. Then also click Actions tab, configure
Action: Start a program and add that programs which you want to start when server start.
Task Scheduler Overview
In addition, you can also consider
computer startup scripts. Use a computer startup script to run programs with unattended parameters. Regarding to detailed script, you can post requirement in the
Script Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

HT1310 I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up.

I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up. I can choose which startup up disk when I'm already booted up from settings --> Startup Disk but how do I know if my Macintosh HD internal drive disk fails I'll be able to boot from my supposedly bootable backup drive?
What am I missing? I have the latest Mountain Lion, could this be bug in that new Op System?
Does the startup drive list (before bootup) only show up if the Macintosh HD is not bootable (crashed or broken)?

Replugging my keyboard into my front USB2 slot was half the solution. I had my keyboard plugged into a KVM switch which goes into the back. The other half was that I needed to unplug my backup firewire hard drive from the front port to a chained drive with the source hooked into the back of the Mac Pro. Not sure if it was the cable or the firewire slot that gummed up the hardware startup hard drive selection diaglog.
I also tried resetting the NVRAM and only got one Mac startup sound. That didn't seem to do it but then again it could of been a necessary condition as well.
Thanks everyone for your help.

I am running Windows 8.1 on desktop. When I exit Photoshop Elements 12, I can not start program again unless I do a computer restart. What gives?

I am running Windows 8.1 on desktop. When I exit Photoshop Elements 12, I can not start program again unless I do a computer restart. How can I fix this?

Hi,
Occasionally, the Welcome screen leaves a process running which prevents the second attempt to start the organizer or editor.
There is no fix but the workaround is to create shortcuts direct to the applications and use them each time.
Create shortcuts pointing to the following files:-
Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Please let us know if they work.
Good luck

Can't install: "this disk cannot be used to start up your computer"

After making sure that my current startup disk for 10.5 was imaged to another hard drive, I inserted the Snow Leopard install disk and double-clicked the Install icon. Everything worked fine till I got to "Select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X." All of the disk partitions had warning triangles, including the one for my original startup disk, which has worked perfectly for the 10.5 pre-installed on my new iMac (identifier 9,1). When I click on the icon for this drive, the warning message below states "Mac OS X cannot be installed on 'iMac HD', because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer." Obviously that's not true, since that's where the OS is installed. No other programs were running except Finder.
I used Disk Utility to check the disk and repair permissions: no change in the installation program's message. I quit the installation program and reinserted the DVD. It certainly does a lot of churning of the DVD before you ask it to do anything. With all external hard disks disconnected, it still gives the same error message.
Where do I go from here? I thought Snow Leopard was "The world's most advanced operating system. Finely tuned." It can't even install itself and recognize a bootable internal hard drive on an iMac.

How did you partition this drive, if you did that? Does it contain start up or utility partitions for any other OS (for instance Linux)? There have been reports that the "cannot be used to start up your computer" message will appear if a third party utility was used to create a 'triple boot' system or such, apparently because SL is picky about the format GUID partition scheme table info & how partitions are allocated space on the drive by other formatting/partition methods.
For some users with these partitions, the fix has been as simple as "tickling" (slightly changing) the partition size of some partition with Disk Utility, which apparently updates the GUID partition scheme table info so that the SL installer accepts it as safe to use with SL.( In this sense, the message may be trying to say the installer thinks the disk can't be used to reliably start up your computer with SL, not in general.)
See the discussions topic Cannot install Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 for more about this.

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 won't start on my computer

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 won't start on my computer I use windows XP.

The ScriptingSupport.8li that comes with Photoshop CS5.1 should have the module version 12.1.0.0 as well.
It sounds as if you have done something where you have mixed modules from an older version of Photoshop (CS3) into those that Photoshop CS5 is enumerating during startup.
Did you, by chance, copy the entire contents of a folder (e.g. plug-ins or scripts) and get extra files you didn't intend?
Have you set an Extra plug-ins folder up to point to the plug-ins for an earlier version of Photoshop?
Mixing up versions of Photoshop is a no-no.
You may want to start by clearing your Photoshop preferences... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediate after cold-starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough, and you have to be VERY quick to get the keys down, it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the preferences it already has set up, which will then cause it to use defaults.

Thanks for your help.

The DASYLab development team has read your message, and advises that there is insufficient information to be able to even start diagnosing the problem. We suggest that you send a note directly to [email protected], with your full contact information, DASYLab serial number, and the following technical information:
-The Help-->Report information - this will tell us more about the computer, video and installed memory
-Installed hardware - what DAQ devices are you using (exact models!)
-The worksheet that crashes - we need to see how the timing is configured in the worksheet
-What other programs are running at the same time?
-Does the worksheet crash every time?
-Does the NI-DAQ Test Panel work correctly for both inputs and outputs?
Sorry that we cannot be more help in this forum; we do not have much experience with blue screen under Windows 2000. This is very hard to do, and is almost always related to a hardware problem - either a resource conflict, or problems with one of the installed hardware devices (DAQ, Video, Memory...).

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.

Word has not been started on this computer

I have the Adobe Technical Communication Suite and Microsoft
Office 2007 installed on my office computer. My operating system is
Windows Vista. In RoboHelp HTML, I have been trying to generate
printed documentation through the Single Source Layouts, but I
receive the following error message every time: "Microsoft Word has
not been started on this computer. Launch Word and click the 'Start
using Microsoft Word' option before generating Printed
Documentation again."
I have indeed opened Word--many times in fact--and I don't
see an option for "Start using Microsoft Word," so I'm stumped.
I am an administrator on the computer, and I installed both
Office 2007 and TCS, in that order, on my system.
In attempting to resolve the problem, I have
- Tried to generate printed documentation for both old and
new projects
- Tried generating .doc, .docx, and .pdf files.
- Uninstalled TCS and Office 2007 and reinstalled them, with
Office 2007 first and then TCS.
- Enabled all macros in Word 2007.
- Removed PDFMaker.dot, according to the suggestion on in the
Print Issues section of Peter Grainge's Web site.
None of these attempts has corrected the problem.
Interestingly, though, I can import a Word file into my RoboHelp
HTML project just fine.
If anyone has any suggestions for how to resolve this
problem, I would be most grateful.

I've got it! As you assume, Peter, is has to do with the roaming profile. The RoboHelp templates were in the roaming profile (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates - where xxx ist my user name) but in Word they were not activ. I could activate them in Word (in Word-Options / Add-Ins / Manage ... go to) but when I restart Word, they were inactive again.
Now I changed in Word-Options/Extended/General button "path for files" the path for "user templates" and "startup" to directories outside the roaming profile (i.e. c:\robohelp\startup). I copied the RoboHelp Templates (PrintDoc.dot, Style Mapping.dot and RoboHook.wll) to the new "startup"-directory. I started Word and now the RoboHelp templates were active!
ThenI started RoboHelp HTML and tried to generate printed documentation - and now it worked For a short time I could see a message like "waiting for register VBA macros". I think that was the most important thing. But I don't know what happend in the background (couldn't find anything in the registry) Now I changed the path back to my originally roaming profile-directories - and the "printed documentation" still works!
Best wishes
Olaf

I believe, in other cases the start of "RoboHelp for Word" did the same thing - register the VBA macros - Don't know, why it didn't worked in my case

HT4436 For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up?

For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.

One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.
