Thanks sabari,
Actually i would like to open a site automatically once when the system gets booted, Like the exe files started automatically once we put the file in the start up folder. How can we place it in start up folder?. Or is there any way we can automatically go to a site once the system booted.

Hi,

Actually i think we can only add applications (.exe) files in windows startup... So in your case, maybe we can do a workaround by adding IE in windows startup and set the website as default website in IE, so that IE will start automatically when windows boots up with the site you wanted

To add quickly the startup item, you can do it via the Registry way..

Open REgistry editor (type "regedit" from the START --> RUN window)

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Microsoft --> Windows --> Current Version --> Run

And right click in the right pane to add a new String Value and add a name to it and in the description add the IE Path c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Note: Modifying Registry Settings should be made under the supervision of the Sys Admin, as each and every settings for Windows Operating System, so it should be dealt with proper Care

Now when you boot up the machine again, IE will open automatically with the website which you would've set as the default Site in IE...

Hope this Helps!!!

Thanks
Shiva...

Hi Shiva,

Yes it is one of good solution but it will open IE with system configuration changes which need to do by user. As you know it is not possible to explain those stuff to any user. My requirment is little bit more and in place of user to do this much of step want to finish the step with minimum changes in their[User] side and more changes in my side [Development side]. Let me try to explain more.

Here is one of my client want me to build site which also give option to visiting user to add my site in his startup with some option. Just accepting those option will add my site in his window startup.

I hope my query is more clear now.

Thanks in advance

Hi Varghese,

Not only we can put the exe files in the start up, we can also put the lnk file. Here i have given an example for this.

//-------------- copy and paste the below two lines --------------------
[InternetShortcut];
URL="discussweb.com"
----------------------------------//

Paste the above code in a notepad and save it as "testredirect.url" and save it under the startup folder. Now whenever your system gets booted you can see the discussweb site automatically.

Now i got the solution for this

hi all

if you want add your site in your window start menu, window startup, favourite etc follow the following procedure

step 1 - get the systemusername.

step 2 - crate shortcut file extension .url.

step 3 - assign url = your site url in the shortcut file content
example
--------
//-------------- copy and paste the below two lines --------------------
[InternetShortcut];
URL="discussweb.com"
----------------------------------//
step 4 - get the values windowstartmenu,windowstartup,favourite through checkbox.

step 5 - write the url file corresponding to step4
example
--------
1. C:\Documents and Settings\systemusername\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\shortcut file
for windowstartup
C:\Documents and Settings\systemusername\Favorites\shortcut file
for favorite or bookmark

step 6 - The above steps are created in vb or other application language and make as exe and stored in server.

step7 - give the exe download option through php or serverside language.

step8 - now the user download the exe from server to client machine and install the exe. then reflect in window startmenu, window startup and favourite.

Note : we have to create seperate exe for firefox because favourit and bookmark are seperate location. check the browser and give the download option for the corresponding exe.

Thanks
