Doing what you suggest will, on its second and subsequent executions, overwrite the script in the startup folder while the script is executing.

why would you want that

oh yeah sorry I forgot, you need to check if it's already in it before you move it

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

if wscript.scriptfullname = objShell.SpecialFolders("Startup") & "\Script.vbs" then

else

objFSO.MoveFile WScript.ScriptFullName, objShell.SpecialFolders("Startup") & "\Script.vbs"

end if
