    hi everyone i am trying to make a batch file that runs when i load up mozilla firefox but i don't know how to do this. i don't want a batch file that runs firefox i want a batch file that runs with firefox after clicking on "firefox.exe". i am using this to make a log of every time firefox is run. don't ask me why i just want to.
    this is what i have:

    Code:
    @echo off
    cd C:\
    echo %DATE% %TIME% %USERNAME% >> firefoxlog.log

    whats with the scripting questions on this site? try google and look for some better resources.

    a few hints...
    appdeploy.com
    desktopengineer.com
    autoit.com
    visualbasicscript.com
    the scripting guys

    anyway...if i understand you correctly...it cant be done the way you want to. you cant have firefox.exe write to a logfile each time it is opened.

    you can however change the firefox shortcut to open a batch file that writes to a log file, launches FF and then quits.

    try this

    Code:
    @echo off
    
    cd C:\
    
    echo %DATE% %TIME% %USERNAME% >> firefoxlog.log
    start firefox
    
    let me know if this helps. if you are worried about the user seeing the flashing dos box then i would look at using vbsript or autoit.
