 That's the general idea. I used AutoIt for Christmas '06 to command WMP to start a playlist for my semi-static display. I think that I may have eventually moved on to another freeware program that was less robust, if only because AutoIt was overkill for what I needed it to do. | |

   Okay I got the start of the script. this will open scheduler. At work right now so I can't mess with it too much. I send it to you? also this assumes that you have scheduler dunning in the "C:\Program Files\Aurora Sequencer\aurora_scheduler.exe" directory if not you'll need to change that. 
 You just run this in your start up folder and it will upon start up: Open scheduler  then click Start for you And then you are done. No need to mess with services, just move this file to your start up folder. Slink | |

   I have completed the script. it is an .exe that you just need to drop into your start up folder and way you go.
We really need a PM system on this site  I guess just reply on this thread with an email address that you want me to send it too and i'll forward it along. Nothing fancy just functional! Slink | |

   I would be careful posting email addresses.....Mike said something about getting spam from posting your email address  on forums.... You could PM over at d-light or PC......then just make a note of that here. Just to be on the safe side. You have a PM at D-light | |

   Just drop the .exe in your start up folder. But before you do that double click, to ensure it will work for you. As long as you didn't change the directory at install it will, but check anyways.

   So then every time I start my computer its going to open the scheduler up?  That may be a issue since as of now you cant minimize the scheduler.

   Chris, you can minimize Scheduler if you do it with the "Windows Key" - M combination.
 Scheduler doesn't just minimize, it disappears!!!  What I don't know is if it is still functional when hidden.  | |
