Auto Start Freescan on powerup/reboot

[tcichowicz]

I'm looking for a way to start Freescan on bootup, I've found the command line options that start the virtual remote control. And I know how to setup a scheduled task to start that with those options. However I'm looking to start the server option on port 1300 each time the system starts.

I have a dedicated PC setup to just maintain my scanner, as well as provide remote access via my iPhone. Each time Windows does it's UPDATEs @ 3AM - and needs to restart my PC - everything comes to a halt; and I have to manually start everything back up. (I know I can turn off updates - but don't want to if I can avoid it.)

Has anyone figured out a way to do this?

What OS are you trying to use. XP WIN 7 WIN 8 WIN 10?

 

[tcichowicz]

Windows 7 Pro

Does the computer restart to a user desktop after a power loss?
If not look here. Windows 7 Auto Logon Enable | Regedit AutoAdminLogon AutoLogonCount
After this you need to make a shortcut and put it in the start up folder. https://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=13076

yes it does boot to a desktop, I already have an Autologon setup.

just putting the application shortcut in the startup folder doesn't work. To use the server feature the application needs to be started as administrator. Also I need the server feature to also start with the application which it doesn't do by default.

It's been a while since I've done it so I don't know if Windows 8 or 10 supports it but you could write a *.bat file in Notepad calling the executable file you want to start and then place it in your Windows Startup folder.

That is the same way I have set up for win500, PROSCAN, and several others working right now in a Windows 7 computer logging data on 5 scanners on 1 Computer. Right click the icon and set it to run as administrator.

I'm using FreeScan -

the server has to be started manually, AFTER the application is launched.

I can get the application launched automatically when the computer boots. Getting the server feature running is the issue.

Then you need to ask the writer of free scan to include that option on start up like Don Starr did in Win500.
