Answer» Okay I will make a brief explanation on showing what i'm trying to do. I'm trying to make a program that will start google chrome for me each time Okay I will make a brief explanation on showing what i'm trying to do. I'm trying to make a program that will start google chrome for me each time the computer starts. I didn't read any further than to see that VBS is being used. Why not use a batch script in the startup group?The vbs file is used to start a specific batch file invisible, the vbs file is generated from the batch file, which is suppose to be a install batch file Why invisible? What's the point in this? It looks like what you've described is not what you want, or what you're doing.because i dont want to display the prompt when the batch file starts. The file doesn't require user input nor does it display any messages. there is no point in displaying the cmd window so i run it invisible instead. When i add a options menu, i wish to display that file instead because it does require a visual prompt to use, and i do not wish to display two prompts just because i wish to run a file in a specific folder from that options menu. The vbs code works fine, the problem is when i create the vbs file from the batch file, specific spacial characters is needed to be ignored or else when the batch file creates the vbs file, the code in that vbs file will not display that character and thus resulting in an error when the vbs file is started. the command line wont let me ignore that character because the "&" sign has to be ignored with the "^" sign, but also the "^" (For example ~ "^&") must also be canceled out (For example ~ "^^&") i cannot ignore the fist "^" sign in "^^&" because it interferes with the other "^" sign in "^&", and thus again resulting in an error.This for general reference: Programs or shortcuts placed in the Startup folder will run whenever Windows starts. Click the Start button , click All Programs, right-click the Startup folder, and then click Open. Open the location that contains the item to which you want to create a shortcut. Right-click the item, and then click Create Shortcut. Most likely Zask will ignore this simple answer.

If you want to start chrome when your computer starts - without a batch window showing - then drag a shortcut from chrome into your startup group. If you want help to use a character in a line of code, then just show the line of code and ask your question.i am being front, all i need to know is how to ignore a ^ sign in front of ^& Quote from: zask on March 26, 2016, 06:31:40 PM i am being front, all i need to know is how to ignore a ^ sign in front of ^& Code: [Select]@echo off echo >"%TEMP%\start.bat" @echo off echo >>"%TEMP%\start.bat" start chrome.exe echo >"%TEMP%\makevbs.bat" @echo off echo >>"%TEMP%\makevbs.bat" set "file=%%APPDATA%%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\run.vbs" echo >>"%TEMP%\makevbs.bat" echo ^>"%%file%%" Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") echo >>"%TEMP%\makevbs.bat" echo ^>^>"%%file%%" WshShell.Run chr(34) ^^^& "%%%%TEMP%%%%\start.bat" ^^^& Chr(34), 0 echo >>"%TEMP%\makevbs.bat" echo ^>^>"%%file%%" Set WshShell = Nothing Quote from: Geek-9pm on March 24, 2016, 08:55:53 PM This for general reference: Works! :/Quote from: zask on March 31, 2016, 04:42:11 PM Works! :/ This is perfect!
