Does anyone know, how on windwos 7, i can configure a program to start on bootup (before logging in).
I tried to run gpedit.msc,l but apparently, windows can't find it lol.

Anyone know alternative?

Thanks
Luke

Ok, problem/question 2.

Heres whats happening;
I have netsupport manager on one comp, and the client installed on another comp, on the client comp, i had to log in, t be "found" on the manager, so i thought, and made it, so the client exe (client32.exe), started during bootup, before showing the login (using gpedit.exe).

I done that, restarted., left it on login screen, tried to find it, but couldn't;
I am currently thinking, maybe it's the wireless not connecting until I've logged on?

Anyone any ideas?

AFAIK you can't run .exe apps before logon? Or am I wrong?

Yeah, you run them as a service ;).

Ahh thats true, couldn't he add client32.exe to the Services list (services.msc) and set it to Automatically start then? But nvm.

Yes, that's what I was implying.

I can't remember how to do it though. Last time I did it (on XP) it involved sticking things into the registry. Don't know about on 7.

Looks like you still do, I can't see anyway of adding a service through services.msc.
