    <p>I have a PowerShell script that monitors an image folder. I need to find a way to auto run this script after the computer starts.</p> <p>I already tried the following methods, but I couldn't get it working.</p> <ol> <li><p>Use msconfig and add the PowerShell script to startup, but I cannot find the PowerShell script on that list.</p></li> <li><p>Create a shortcut and drop it to startup folder. No luck.</p> <pre><code>%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "C:\Doc\Files\FileMonitor.ps1" </code></pre> <p>or %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "C:\Doc\Files\FileMonitor.ps1"</p> <p>Here's my PowerShell script:</p> <pre><code>$folder = "C:\\Doc\\Files" $dest = "C:\\Doc\\Files\\images" $filter = "*.jpg" $fsw = new-object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher $folder, $filter -Property @{ IncludeSubDirectories=$false NotifyFilter = [System.IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName, LastWrite' } $onCreated = Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Created -SourceIdentifier FileCreated -Action { Start-Sleep -s 10 Move-Item -Path C:\Doc\Files\*.jpg C:\Doc\Files\images } </code></pre></li> <li><p>I also tried add a basic task using taskschd.msc. It is still not working.</p> <p>Here's what I found, and maybe that will help to debug it.</p> <p>If I open up a PowerShell window and run the script there, it works. But if I run it in a CMD prompt,</p> <pre><code>powershell.exe -File "C:\Doc\Files\FileMonitor.ps1" </code></pre> <p>It will not work. I am not sure it's a permission problem or something else.</p> <p>BTW, I have PowerShell 3.0 installed, and if I type $host.version, it will show 3 there. But my powershell.exe seems like it is still v1.0.</p> <pre><code>%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe </code></pre></li> </ol>

    1. COv1.0 powershell.exe is the v3. MSFT is just lazy with moving files to new folders for new versions. i.e. System32 on x64 is x64 and syswow64 is 32 bit.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
