But ive forgotten what it is called Anyone got any ideas? it was something Basic, not gwbasic, or Qbasic etc but something basic Also it was a freeware programe...if memory serves me right

nah wasnt that Ive used darkbasic before and its great if you want to develop your own games etc tar anyways mate
all i remember of the program was its very simple gui and it was pretty basic, but was capable of doing lots of stuff etc also the logo had waves in it, or something blue lol

basically all i want to do is a create a tiny programe that checks a few values in the registery every time windows starts, does a litle routine if needed then exits. I could do it in VB but i dont need a gui interface or anything, plus im trying to keep it as small as possible in terms of file size and memory usage etc all i want one file that will not rely on runtimes etc.

What about using VBScript? Free with Windows. You don't need a compiler or anything else to use it.

Checkout http://www.rapideuphoria.com/ it's free and is more than flexible enough to allow you to write a program such as you describe.

I could post a glowing review of it here, but it's better to let you decide for yourself.
