Does the folder C:\Users\vovan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup itself exist?

If yes, is there already a shortcut named inputscope.lnk under it?

If no, what happens if you run the program with elevated permissions?

Quake4Life commented 8 months ago

Yes, the folder exists. No, there is no shortcuts. Yes, I start the program as an admin.

Interesting.. Can you try the following:

shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")

path = r"C:\Users\vovan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\InputScope.lnk"

shortcut = shell.CreateShortCut(path)

shortcut.Targetpath = sys.argv[0]

shortcut.save()



What is the result?

Interesting.. Can you try the following:

  • right-click on the InputScope icon in system tray and select "Show Python console"
  • in the opened console window, copy-paste the following lines, one by one, pressing Enter after each:

import win32com.client shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell") path = r"C:\Users\vovan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\InputScope.lnk" shortcut = shell.CreateShortCut(path) shortcut.Targetpath = sys.argv[0] shortcut.save()

Strange. Because error code -2147024893 means "The system cannot find the path specified.".

What happens if you open the console and execute

os.listdir(r"C:\Users\vovan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup")

?

Quake4Life commented 8 months ago

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\Users\vovan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup'

Well, it looks like the folder C:\Users\vovan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup does not exist? What happens if you choose Run from start menu and paste this folder name there and click OK?

shenef commented 8 months ago

Checking on my end (on Win 11), i don't have that folder either, for me the startup folder is at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and, looking online, it should be at that same location in Win 10.

Quake4Life commented 8 months ago

Yep, there's no such folder. But as Shenef has mentioned, I surely have C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Ok, thank you all, now the confusion is cleared up, InputScope uses the wrong path. Will issue a fix soon.

@Quake4Life just in case, can you try one more thing in the Python console:

import win32com.client

shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")

shell.SpecialFolders("Startup")

What does it print?

Quake4Life commented 8 months ago

'C:\Users\vovan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup'

The newly released version 1.10 should fix this issue.
