Running 32 bit applications at boot up?

Posted 20 January 2012 - 11:24 PM

Is it possible to run a 32 bit console applications at boot up? How will I do it?

I know it has something to do in assembly. I just don't know how.

Sounds like an effort to sneek in malware if you ask me.

That one made me laugh. EVERYTHING in code is part of an assembly.

Perhaps you should just start with "Hello World" and work your way up from there. Leave this type of development until you are more experienced.

Why not just put a shortcut to the application in the start up folder?

Does the 'console' application require OS support? (If it does the OS will need to be booted first)

If your on an x86 processor follow the manuals and enable whatever features of the processor you know your application needs. Then it's a load and run scenario.

are we talking boot time or os start up time? if you talking boot time then you would have to get a boot-loader to load the application(or maybe the application *is* a boot-loader) and then the application would have to carry out it's tasks(mind you, there is no OS support as GenHornet18 hinted). if you're just talking about os start up time then the startup folder should work just fine.

To answer the question, yes you can run a program after boot and before you get to the login screen of windows, why do you want to do it? If you know nothing about it, then how did you get the idea? When asked this question it is usually for malicious intents

Since the OP hasn't responded in over 36 hours and the topic at hand has malicious applications, I'm going to close this thread.
