Workarounds are nice but the best option would be a software fix.

The easiest and quickest fix would be to  Add some command line arguments to the shortcut of the scheduler. (i.e. "C:\Program Files\Aurora Sequencer\aurora_scheduler.exe" -autostart) so that it can be installed as a startup item. This wont help systems that don't auto logon (need a password to open) but it is a start and a quick and easy development solution.

The ideal option would be to make the Scheduler run as a service in automatic startup mode running as local system account which will always make the scheduler start on system bootup regardless of user logon. Have a switch in the Scheduler software that allows for auto starting of the actual shows- either on or off. This will allow for the shows to be manually disbaled without shutting down the scheduler service.

Chris, you can minimize Scheduler if you do it with the "Windows Key" - M combination.
Scheduler doesn't just minimize, it disappears!!!
 
What I don't know is if it is still functional when hidden.

So then every time I start my computer its going to open the scheduler up?  That may be a issue since as of now you cant minimize the scheduler.

Just drop the .exe in your start up folder. But before you do that double click, to ensure it will work for you. As long as you didn't change the directory at install it will, but check anyways.

I would be careful posting email addresses.....Mike said something about getting spam from posting your email address  on forums....

You could PM over at d-light or PC......then just make a note of that here.   Just to be on the safe side.

You have a PM at D-light
