Vista on Macs (or experienced Windows users)

[dragonsgames]

Anyone here install Vista on a Macbook/Macbook Pro? If so, have you figured out how to get the trackpad to run on wakeup? I know for MacBooks, it needs to run this code

c:\devcon.exe restart "USB\VID_05AC&PID_021A&MI_01"


in Command Prompt. Is there a way to get this to work on wakeup? Or add this to the start menu? Thanks.

Anyone know how to get this code to run?

Add it to Autoexec.bat in your root directoryy, and it will run.

Thanks for responding, I will try it out when I boot back into Vista later (I am in Mac OS now, but I added it to the file)

It didn't work, so I just deleted the Vista partion. It wasn't worth the space/trouble... ;)

I'm not sure what legacy autostart modes Vista supports.
Under XP and earlier, you have the following places you can use:
c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
c:\autoexec.bat
c:\config.sys
c:\winstart.bat
c:\windows\win.ini (load= & run= lines)
regedit.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
regedit.exe HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
