What I need is to run during system startup from command line this software :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools>atsiv -f atitray64.sys

I can automate process ,but manually from CMD (in Administrator mode) it works .

Please help me ....
 
Easiest way might be to create a bat file, then put a shortcut to the bat file in your Startup menu.
 
Shortcut in startup.

But how ? I need to run CMD an then inside it this command " C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools>atsiv -f atitray64.sys" ...
 
make a new notepad document. (doesnt matter where, document maybe?)
put:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools>atsiv -f atitray64.sys

In it and save it. then make sure extensions for known files are visible, and rename the .txt bit to .bat

Then create a shortcut to that bat in your startup folder.

Good idea but it not work --- it is not possible to run *.bat file as Administrator :-(
This *.bat file runs then i get on desktop empty file named atsiv with no extention and that is all .
 
Is the script defo right? is it not:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools\atsiv -f atitray64.sys

Either that or on the shortcut, if you got into its properties, can you tick for it to run as admin?
 
By default "Run As Admin" is greyed out for *.bat files.
Try this one

Script is ok , I made shortcut then set Run as Administrator and still efect is not good . There is no errors but driver atitray64.sys is still not installed --- don't know why ?

Both scripts has the same effect no errors and also no success.
 
Right-click somewhere, create new shortcut, point to your file, add arguments. Done. Batchfiles are pointless here.

But this is a script not a file from what I can see, so arguments wont work.

What is the > bit about?

You don't want a script, you want to execute a single command on startup. Startup is exactly for that. You can simply add arguments to your shortcut.

But isnt:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools>atsiv -f atitray64.sys

A script :confused:

I thought shortcuts in the start up only worked for files not processes (going by what the OP says)

i've never seen the > command used before though.


EDIT:
After googling it. i think all you need to do like dan says is to create a shortcut to the file atsiv. then add the arguments: -f atitray64.sys
and pop that in your start menu folder.
 
Bingo !!! I made shortcut to file atsiv.exe not to BAT file .

Target : C:\Users\sebx\atsiv.exe -f atitray64.sys
Start in : C:\Users\sebx\

and Run as Administrator checked . A it works when I run shortcut , I must try startup now .

ah, i see where its all got confusing now. i was right in the first place it should have been:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools\atsiv -f atitray64.sys

not

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools>atsiv -f atitray64.sys

:rolleyes:
