Title: Boot email notice
Post by: Zigeris on November 15, 2008, 04:44:57 AM
Hi i'm a new to Computer Hope, I have a question for security purposes.

My questions are:

1.) Is there a way to have my computer to send a email to my cell  when it boots or during the login process?

2.) can a batch file be set to operate during boot? as like System.INI

Sure! You can find command line programs on the net like blat (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81910) or you can develop your own in one of the Windows Script languages. In either case, put a program shortcut in your startup folder. Program will run on every startup.

Same as above. Put a shortcut of your batch file in the startup folder. FYI: batch files require the command shell to run. Note: the system.ini file is not executable. It contains parameters and settings for other programs to use.

Okay thank you for the software referral but i have one issue when i click to begin the programs operations it shows the cmd box but quickly closes, other Dos files do this to me as well, not all but some.

start batch files from a command box, then you will see any error messages.
