there a way to detect when an application is started by autostart and
when its launched by a user?

Best way I have figured out to do that is to specify a command line
switch in the auto startup shortcut. If present, the app knows it was
run from that shortcut.

Thanks for the reply! Currently I'm using registry settings for the
autostart, no a short cut in the auto start-up folder, so it doesn't
work. Anyone else know of another way to solve this? Otherwize I guess
I have to go for the shortcut.
Well specify a command line switch in the registry setting then.

Put the switch in the registry setting rather than a shortcut?

I am trying to parse responseXML from an HTTP request.
var doc = request.responseXML;

It returns the expected collection when running under Firefox or Mozilla.
Anybody can explain ?

based on a previous thread, i've been advised that using the system registry
isn't always the best way to store user config details (due to portability
issues). from my understanding, however, registry is usually used to
autoStart an app. is there a better way to go about autoStaring an app,
then?
