      Custom Delayed Startup for Smartcontroller which will override the current hardcoded 15-second delay

       Problem | Details

      Within the current code logic for BeStartup.exe Smartcontroller is hard coded to be delayed for 15 seconds with no way to alter the time using Bestartup

      StartProgram("BEpoz SmartController", g_oSettings.sExecutePath & "\smartcontrol.exe", "/S15"

       Resolution | Details

      The batch file can be found in the ScreenConnect Tools that does the following.

      It finds the registry key for the Execution path and sets it as a variable

      FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A IN ('reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Backoffice /v ExecutePath') DO SET ExecutePath=%%B
      Echo %ExecutePath%

      It sets the Dword for StartSmartController to 0

      REM CLEAR FLAG FOR SMARTCONTROLLER START
      reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Backoffice" /v StartSmartController /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

      Create a startup entry for Smartcontroller in Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with a 60-second delay

      REM SET RUN ON STARTUP FOR SMARTCONTROLLER WITH 60 SECONDS
      reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v StartSmartController /t REG_SZ /d "\"%ExecutePath%\smartcontrol.exe\" /S60" /f

      @echo off
      FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=	 " %%A IN ('reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Backoffice /v ExecutePath') DO SET ExecutePath=%%B
      Echo %ExecutePath%

      REM CLEAR FLAG FOR SMARTCONTROLLER START 
      reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Backoffice" /v StartSmartController /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

      REM SET RUN ON STARTUP FOR SMARTCONTROLLER WITH 60 SECONDS
      reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v StartSmartController /t REG_SZ /d "\"%ExecutePath%\smartcontrol.exe\" /S60" /f
      		 
      @echo off
      FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=	 " %%A IN ('reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Backoffice /v ExecutePath') DO SET ExecutePath=%%B
      Echo %ExecutePath%

      REM CLEAR FLAG FOR SMARTCONTROLLER START 
      reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Backoffice" /v StartSmartController /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

      REM SET RUN ON STARTUP FOR SMARTCONTROLLER WITH 60 SECONDS
      reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v StartSmartController /t REG_SZ /d "\"%ExecutePath%\smartcontrol.exe\" /S60" /f
