Running java from Userinit in Windows 2000

843798Aug 16 2001 — edited Aug 23 2001
Hello all,

I am developing an application that runs on windows2000 client. I would like the application to start on bootup and was considering using the USERINIT registry key to startup my application. On the Microsoft website it says that if this method is taken then the program in USERINIT should call "Explorer.exe" so that the OS can run in the background.

I have a batch file that runs my app just with the command line:
java MyApp >app.log

I was going to place this as batch file in the userinit key. I was wandering if anyone had try this and whether there are any pitfalls to watch out for?

Regards,
Jason
