Running Programs

[Guest Jake]

Does anyone know how I can set a program to automatically run at a set time

after I log on? For example, could I set Windows Media Player to run 1 minute

after I have logged in to my account? Running Windows XP Home SP2. Thanks in

advance.

Re: Running Programs

 

You could use Scheduled Tasks or the Startup folder to run a bat file with

 

Ping -n 61 127.0.0.1

 

as a 60 second delay before the line with your Media player exe

 

2 minutes would be -n 121
