new -startup switch behavior The following's from this post I had going over in General Windows Support, and I thought it'd be more useful here, so im pasting it now into beta... well, ive discovered some new behavior in 4.1.10.... unlike previous versions, when i install or re-install 4.1.10 it will add the startup entry into the startup folder. ( I haven't looked at the shortcut properties, tho), but if I move the reg entry from common startup to either HKLM/HKCU startup i see the checkbox stays checked in lw, and whether or not i delete each and every startup entry relating to lw, regardless of which HK its in, LW won't put the shortcut into common startup via the checkbox unless I reinstall. And whats worse... Once i move the entry from common startup to either HK, the start in tray switch doesnt survive. So ive tried via batch again, and something's wrong.... These are some ive tried: A. start /abovenormal limewire.exe /startup -min /min -startup B. start /abovenormal limewire.exe -startup /startup -min /min C. start /abovenormal limewire.exe -startup D. start /abovenormal limewire.exe ...and this is what happens: A. & D. starts the splash screen way B. & C. command window closes without launching the exe ....so now im off to reinstall for the 5th time.... grrr |
The startup behaviour hasn't changed since it was introduced (a while ago). It's always been the case that you need to either re-install LimeWire again or drop a link to LimeWire in the startup folder (and add a -startup parameter to the command) in order to do a startup, in addition to checking 'Start On Startup' in the options in LimeWire. Yes, it's clunky, but we didn't have an easy way of making a link to start LimeWire through Java. At some point we'll come up with a better way of doing it, but it's not really a huge priority now. |
