[suhas_sm]

I want to start a couple of dos exe at the time of boot up of operating system(win 2k). I want to start them in background at system start up : )

Can ne one help me out with this ?

 

[imported_dheeraj_kumar]

put the paths of the programs in autoexec.bat before any other commands

Will this be excuted for every acount login on computer ? I mean user account.

Thnx for so quick reply.

Also on more query.... can i bring that program to front whenever required ?

 

[mvishnu]

autoexec will run the prog, but y not add it into tthe startup?

i think u will b able bring th e prog. to front if its a bring-front-able prog.

 

[suhas_sm]

if i add it start up it wont run in background.

 

[suhas_sm]

ne thing else that can be done ?

Try to put in in Startup and check...
WHat do u mean by BG, like u want it to run all the time

A visual program cant be hidden into the background like a process, it can be put to tray at most i think...

 

[varungupta17]

Open Registry editor By typing regedit at run...
Then go to HKLM>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENTVERSION>RUN
Rightclick and create a string value on the right pane of the editor by right clicking. Rename the key anythng u wish.
Double click it and add the path of the software....
And here u go...

Put it in the startup folder and it will autorun

what i want is something similar to Quick Hide Windows or Folder Locker in stealth mode which comes up when we press some combination of keys. Similar to that i want to run a couple of dos windows in background as process and shuld be able to c it when i want to

@varungupta
I ll try it out

 

[shakti]

i think autoexe.bat is the best solution

 

[varungupta17]

What u r thinking is impossible... As no program can be forced by end users to run in stealth mode.... However i would like to add is that all programs that u mentioned and that run in stealth mode are coded by their programmers to run in stealh mode...
U can to very little about it unless u create ur own program.

yes u can sumply find a code in vb/vc on net...which hides the prog exe from taskbar and tray also..

only shows in processes in 'task manager'

i have done that kind a coding in VB..it is easy...

go for VB exe and find a code to hide it from taskbar and systray...
