Description : This is a personal startup script with pop-up notification and
: checks to assure things are not already running.
:
: There are 2 samples included, taskmanager and Firefox. Add as many
: as required.
:
: To call the script use the following in a shortcut or in the RUN registry key.
: "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden –Noninteractive -NoLogo -Command "&{C:\Startup.ps1}"
: Change the script name and path as needed to suit your environment.
:
: Be sure to enter the proper process name or errors will result. Use
: "get-process" by itself to list running proces names that PowerShell
: will be happy with, just make sure each app you want a name for is already
: running first.
:
: A sleep delay is added to smooth out processing but can be removed if needed.
:
Notes : Sample script is safe to run as written.
:
Warnings : None.
