GOAL:
How to auto start an interactive Progress Windows Application on system startup, i.e. system boot?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
FIX:
The following method creates a string value in the Windows operating system registry to auto start a Progress Application each time the Windows system is booted. As always, back up your registry before you modify it to allow you revert it to its previous state if needed.:
1. Start -> Run -> regedit.
2. Locate the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
3. Right Click on the key and select:
New -> String Value
4. Windows will create a new string value named 'New Value #1' and will display that value in 'Edit' mode to allow you assign the name of your choice for it.
5. Rename the newly created string value by either editing the name or by right clicking on it and choosing the Rename option, for example:
ProgressOnBoot.
6. Double click on the new string value to access its 'Edit String Dialog.
7. Type the command in the 'Value data' FILL-IN, for example:
C:\Progress91E\bin\prowin32.exe -p c:\wrk91e\mywindow.w
