Ok solved the startup problem for anyone using /portable setups with Dropbox or any other online folder. Also works with non portable setups but obviously take out the /portable.
Create a batch file (save text file as startup.bat) with your path(s)
Code: Select all
TIMEOUT 5
start /D "C:\Users\user\Dropbox\My System\MT3\" /MIN terminal.exe /portable
TIMEOUT 5
start /D "C:\Users\user\Dropbox\My System\MT2\" /MIN terminal.exe /portable
TIMEOUT 5
start /D "C:\Users\user\Dropbox\My System\MT1\" /MIN terminal.exe /portable
TIMEOUT 5
start /D "C:\Users\user\Dropbox\My System\MT5\" /MIN terminal.exe /portable
TIMEOUT 60
exit
Run a batch file at boot in Windows 98, XP, NT, 2000, Vista, and 7
- Create a shortcut to the batch file.
Once the shortcut has been created, right-click the file and select Cut.
Click Start, then Programs or All Programs. Find the Startup folder and right-click that folder, then select Open.
Once the Startup folder has been opened, click Edit in the menu bar, then Paste to paste the shortcut into the startup folder. If you do not see the menu bar, press the Alt key to make the menu bar visible.
Any shortcuts in the Startup folder will automatically run each time the user logs in to Windows.
Hope this helps
