running files on startup


Question

I'm trying to get a batch file to run from start up through the registry. I am running a looping batch file that is hidden with a vbs file. I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this type of coding so I had to run a batch file (launch.bat) that then runs a vbs file (invis.vbs) which hides another batch file wile it runs. I think that I have the registry portion figured out but when I boot up I get an error message saying that the vbs file can't find the batch file that I wish to run. This is puzzling because the whole thing works just fine if I initiate it manually.

the files look like this:

launch.bat-

wscript.exe "F:\path\invis.vbs" "repeat.bat"

invis.vbs-

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False

The file that is supposed to run after all this is repeat.bat. Like I said, if I run the launch.bat file the whole thing works just fine, but when I tell the registry to run it at start up the vsb portion of the chain does not work.

and just in case I screwed up the registry part hear is the portion of the registry containing the start up info in question

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"application"="\"F:\\path\\launch.bat\""

any help?
