EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
Re EXE Won't Run, need a little help please.
I have created a Macro in Pulover's Macro Creator. It is very short only a few lines.
It runs flawlessly when run from within the MACRO or the External Macro Control Bar.
I need to run it on Windows StartUp so I created an EXE file from FILE > EXPORT to AHK.
(I have downloaded & installed the Auto Hot Key program).
In the export I have the option to create an EXE program, which it did create without any errors.
However, when I execute it, nothing happens EXCEPT that it puts a H on the Task Bar.
I am logged in as Administrator & I've tried running the EXE as Administrator also but nothing at all seems to help.
If I Right Click on the H it has three options:
SUSPEND HOTKEYS
PAUSE SCRIPT
EXIT
Double Clicking the H does nothing either.
OS: Windows 7, SP1 64bit.
Please can anyone help, I have looked thru' the Forum but not really found anything to help.
I am not a Computer Code Guru, just an average Windows user so Technical talk may throw me a bit.
Thanks in advance
Howard.

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
This Line #F3:: is a hotkey aka win+f3 to start the script so you execute it and Them need to Press win+f3 for it to do anything

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
I don't understand. Am I meant to insert a line at the beginning of the script that is #F3::
Ie:
#F3::
Run, F:\ServInfo\servinfo\servinfo\ServInfo.exe
I can't work out how to insert it, if that's what I'm meant to do?
And after I've created the exe do I then press Win+F3 to execute it?

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
Code: Select all
#F3::Run, F:\ServInfo\servinfo\servinfo\ServInfo.exe ; press (the hotkey AKA keyboard shortcut) Win+F3 to run ServInfo.exe
Exactly because you made that hotkey part of your script. So pressing Win+F3 will fire that hotkey.And after I've created the exe do I then press Win+F3 to execute it?

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
Or is there a way to add F3 Command to execute in the marco?

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
One thing I did try & it seemed to work but I can't replicate it again...
In the Macro I added just the Character x to a Raw Text to the end of the Macro.
Then in the AHK Create EXE I changed the Hotekey from F3 to x
Then after I created the exe & ran it, it executed immediately.
But I tried to create the same again but can't replicate it.
In the AHK Window there are TWO FIELDS to enter a HotKey. I've tried putting my x into both but I can still only execute the exe after I press the x key myself.
I nee the exe to execute immediately I run it.

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
Ok, so I understand now the Hot key but can someone please tell me how can I make the ServInfo.exe EXECUTE on Boot Up?
How can I simulate pressing the Win+F or any other Key Press on system Boot Up?

Re: EXE Won't Run - Need to Run at Windows (7) StartUp.
Remove the hotkey part from your script, and leave it as Run, F:\ServInfo\servinfo\servinfo\ServInfo.exe. Place that in your Startup folder, it should then in theory autorun the script and then the script will run ServInfo.exe
EDIT: Decidied to test it myself, using this command Run ::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d} which basically opens My PC window. It runs it at startup without any input then quits.
