At login I want to have Macro Scheduler (a) run a script and (b) stay installed so that hotkeys assigned to macros are still active (specifically hotkeys to send keystrokes to the active window) for the remainder of my login session. How do I do this?
If I just have "Macro Scheduler" in my Startup folder without any script parameter, it stays installed. If I add a script parameter it runs the script but does not stay installed. If I add TWO items to my Startup folder, one without a script parameter and one with a script parameter, it smokes.
By "installed" I mean there is the usual Macro Scheduler icon in the system tray.
Thanks, Steve

Place Macro Scheduler in your startup folder and also put a shortcut to any script you would like to have run at startup. This should work as long as you have allowed the .SCP extension to be associated with Macro Scheduler during Macro Scheduler installation.
If for some reason, the script tries to execute before Macro Scheduler is running and the above process fails, you could go to the desired script's properties, choose the "Run When" tab, pick the "advanced options" button and select "run immediately" in the recovery options.
