Running Quick-Keys, Quick Scripts, or Macros at Startup

You can create a Quick-Key, Quick Script, or macro to launch the login script automatically each time you open HostExplorer.

Warning!

Automating logins may cause security problems.

To automatically run a Quick-Key, Quick Script, or macro at startup:

1. On the Options menu of a session window, click Session Properties. The Session Profile dialog box opens.
2. Open the Connection folder and click the Other category.
3. In the Auto Start Quick-Key/Quick Script/Macro box, do one of the following:
4. • Type the full path name of the Quick-Key, Quick Script, or macro that you want to use. Alternatively, click Browse to search for these items.
   • Select a Quick-Key from the drop-down list.

     Note:

     If you click the browse button to search for Quick Script or macro files, select Quick Script or Hummingbird Basic Files in the Files of Type list. To search for Quick Script files, select HostExplorer Quick Script Files.

4. Click OK when finished.
5. On the File menu, click Save Session Profile. The Save Profile dialog box opens.
6. Select the profile or type a new name.
7. Click Save.

   Note:

   You can use this process to minimize the number of steps required to log into a system. For example, you can avoid having to type your user name and password each time you access a host.
