Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new string value called "AutoRun" and set the value to equal the commands to be automatically executed. Multiple commands should be seperated by double ampersands e.g. "command1 && command2".

The changes will take effect the next time the command processor is used.

		(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
