run project vi on power up

[metzler]

Is there a way to open and run a project VI when a computer is powered up?  This is a Win XP SP3 computer and I am using LV 2012SP1 F5.

Sure.  Build it as an Executable and put it in the StartUp folder that Windows uses.

Hi metzler,

Windows has a "Autostart" folder in the start menu…

When your program (you better compile build an application from your VI!) is to be started before the user logs in you need to run it as a service - just google for "run as service"…
