Mark,
Here are the steps to place an icon on your Desktop that
will automatically run a script...
1. You can load a script file from an
icon by right clicking on the Desktop and selecting New...Shortcut and Browsing
for the file.
2. Boston WorkStation's
default file extension is .bws, meaning that when you click on or run a file
with that extension, the WorkStation loads itself and then loads that
file.
3. When Boston WorkStation initially loads its script
file, it looks for a subroutine named autoexec and immediately runs it if it's
there.Rich McNeil

Can you explain the first part a bit more? I have the command
Shutdown = True
set up at the end which Corinna helped me with.
This script will run on demand by the user once or more per day.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
Rename the script you want to run on startup to: Sub autoexec and add a shortcut on the desktop to the .bws file.
After the script runs, you can shut it down with the command: Shutdown = True

Subject: [Talk] Icon on desktop to open and run project file
I want to set up an icon on the desktop to open and run a .bws file. Is there a parameter for this? This is to eliminate the need to have the user click on the play button. I am using
Taskbar = True
in the script which minimizes the workstation window after it starts running.
Thanks,
Mark
