Is there a way to auto-start a MS-DOS prompt command line upon start up?

[Parn]

I have win98SE. I want to run a DOS based program everytime my system starts.

Specifically, I want to run uoamsvr.exe with the following command lines:

"uoamsvr.exe -p 3000 -pw blahblah"

Is there a way to set up Win98SE to do that?

Put a shortcut to the program in the Start Up menu, and edit it's properties, and add the -p 3000 -pw blahblah to the end of it 🙂

I suspect that Confused meant the Startup folder. And, as Confused said, just edit the "Target" field in the shortcut's Properties dialog so that the switches are invoked when the command is run at start time.

Or, since you're running a DOS-based Windows version anyway, you could just add that line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the root directory, assuming that an AUTOEXEC.BAT file exists there.

make bla.bat "c:\path\to\bla -option -water+grain+rot=beer" drop it in your startup dir and youre good to go

Thanks! I used the batch file method since that was the easiest for me to do.
