CustomStartup

This is my pet project. Run apps in order automatically at startup in Windows with registering vbs in taskscheduler's logon trigger.

Samples

Use library

  using module ".\lib\RunAsync.psm1"

Run notepad.exe

  RunAsync "Notepad.exe"

Run notepad.exe and wait for opening window

  RunAsync "Notepad.exe" -WinTitle "Untitled - Notepad"

Run notepad.exe and minimize it

  RunAsync "Notepad.exe" -WinTitle "Untitled - Notepad" -HideWin

Open task manager and hide it on system tray (need admin rights)

  RunAsync "Taskmgr.exe" -WinTitle "Task Manager" -HideWin

How to find WinTitle string

  Get-Process | ? {$_.ProcessName -eq "notepad"} | Format-Table MainWindowTitle

  Get-Process | ? {$_.MainWindowTitle} | Format-Table MainWindowTitle

Save my sleep

  %%{
    init: {
      'sequence': {
        %% 'showSequenceNumbers': true
      }
    }
  }%%
