i'm trying to script a greeting that will execute on my computer on startup. the problem is, i dont know what object to use, because i'm not linking the js file to an html file, i'm executing it just as a js file because i dont a window opening as well as a popup.

here's my code:

document.alert("welcome gordie")

when i try to execute it i get a pop up saying:

script: c:\documents and settings\ ... \startup\welcome.js
line: 2
char: 1
error: 'document' is undefined
code: 800A1391
source: microsoft jscript runtime error

thanks alot!

Like this?

WScript.Echo("Welcome Gordie");

You're not opening it in an HTML document, hence there is no "document" object to reference. The WScript.echo thing should work fine, assuming you have Windows Scripting Host enabled.

so basically WScript replaces document... otherthan that, can i use normal javascript?

[brendandonhu]

You can use WSH/WScript to run JavaScripts..so yes, basically.
