.bat file

I was wondering how to make a .bat file for MyApp.exe application to run on startup? Also, is a .bat file what I need to run MyApp.exe application globally on startup? If not what is the best course of action to run MyApp.exe? Any help will be greatly appricated.

this is quite vague so sorry i can't help you in this post, i need more details.

Why does it need to be run from a batch file?
i assume its because of command line options etc?

if you show me the batch file then i may be able to help (the contents of it not an actual copy)

Cheers,
Jamey

If you just want the program to "start", without doing anything extra, try putting a shortcut to it in the startup folder. I've got three on my computer located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

One of them is a script to create a system restore point on my first boot of the day. The other two are shortcuts to small utility programs.
