[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 481900, member: 3889"] I recorded this AppleScript by using a movie I downloaded and named movie (because I'm so original) and left on the desktop. But if you put the movie somewhere else, you'd have to supply the pathway in the third line, such as: select file "movie.mov" of folder "Movies"of folder "Media" of startup disk. tell application "Finder" activate select file "movie.mov" open selection end tell tell application "QuickTime Player" activate play movie "movie.mov" end tell Save the AppleScript as an application (next to where it says Format), and make sure Never Show Startup Screen is checked. Then place the AppleScript in the Startup Items folder inside the System Folder. [/QUOTE]
