Auto start with Vista

[n17ken]

Just found a way to start LDC smartie automatically with full privilages.

In administrative tools goto Task Scheduler and create a new Task.

In general tab...
check Run only when user is logged on
check Run with highest privilages

In triggers tab...
select new and in the drop down tab select At log on

In action tab...
select new and in drop down tab select Start a program.
Fill in as required and add the -hide argument.

In the settings tab...
check 1st 2nd & 4th boxes.

That's the task done.

In LCD smartie make sure it is NOT set to start with windows or Vista will block it! It must only be started via the scheduler.

Works fine for me.

Hope this is of use to someone else.

Thanks for this!

why do you need to run lcdsmarite as admin ?

Because otherwise it can't communicate with some displays through drivers.
