Windows has a system scheduler, which you can add entries to, specifying what time(s) a particular entry is to run.

Adding a file to the all users startup folder probably doesn't even require elevation. Maybe even a regular user can do it, given the default ProgramData NTFS permissions. I don't remember what the defaults are. Background: NT 6 (Vista) added User Account Control (UAC), which adds the run as administrator option. This launches a process with an elevated access token. ShellExecute allows the same with the runas verb. You can verify whether it exists on your system for the exefile filetype (e.g. python.exe): C:\reg query hkcr\exefile\shell\runas\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas\command (Default)REG_SZ%1 %* IsolatedCommandREG_SZ%1 %* On a related note, the old runas.exe console command lets you launch a process with the credentials of an administrator account. However, it can't 'elevate' the process. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

No idea what module would mean in this context. And I haven't run Windows in a long time, except for occasionally helping others.

It's been a long time since I had to run Windows, but I didn't think so. The contents of the startup folders are executed in the current session after logon. The same applies to run keys such as HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. I wasn't taking startup to mean literally before any user has logged on. But yes, if that's the requirement, you can use the Task Scheduler service to start a program as a batch process in session 0 (or instead create your own service). Just as an FYI, in the Home versions of Windows the task scheduler can't store logon credentials, so to run at startup you have to use LOCALSERVICE or SYSTEM. To automate creating a task use the schtasks command. For example, to create a task named Python that runs python.exe at startup under the LOCALSERVICE account, execute the following from an elevated shell: schtasks /Create /TN Python /RU LOCALSERVICE /SC ONSTART /TR C:\Python33\python.exe This will run as a non-interactive service in session 0. There won't be a visible GUI or console window to interact with in your desktop session. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
