O.P. BUG? MsgPlus! not running at windows startup...
Hi,

(note: i manualy deleded the MsgPlus! 'run'-line from the 'windows\currentversion\run'.)

I enabled the option to 'force Plus! to load when te computer starts' by going to the general options dialog -> general -> miscellaneous

After that, I checked the register and saw that Plus! added the line:
"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" /WinStart
to 'windows\currentversion\run'.

But when I start my computer Plus! does not start automaticaly...

(If I enter
"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" /WinStart
in the 'run' box, and I look at my 'system resources' I can see that Plus! is starting but only for a few seconds and then ends again...)

Is this a bug? Maybe it is the /WinStart addon that's the problem? Is this all the information you need?

That's not a bug. It does exactly what it is designed to do....
If you only want to start up Plus! then don't use the parameter /Winstart.

See these posts for more details:
(if you put those two posts together, you'll have your answer (too tired now to explain everything again in detail in another way ;))

ok, thanks! I can see what is does now.

but...

MsgPlus! still is not running at startup...
or should I have both

C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" /WinStart

and

C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\MsgPlus.exe"

in my /windows/currentversion/run/ register settings?


Thanks,
Barisko


(btw. can you tell me what the register enty 'ExitShortcut' does?)

It will if you remove the /winstart parameter.

ExitShortcut is the value of the "Reset Status" Shortcut:
Plus! > Preferences > General Options > Miscellaneous > Reset Status Shortcut
