I think it would be very handy to be able to configure autostart items to only happen on certain computers. Perhaps by using the %COMPUTERNAME% environment variable.

Hi Timrray.
This is a fantastic idea. I have your same problem with my configuration too but I haven't thought to this obvious solution.
I think that you'll find this feature on the next release ;-)

Excellent! It would be really cool if you could use multiple computer names too, just in case you want to start up something on more than one computer!



Thanks Gianluca! Keep up the good work!

Sure.
Since now for every item you can choose if you want or not autoexec on start and on quit, I thought to add two textboxes to specify a list of machine names.
If for a certain item the autoexec textbox is empty, the autoexec executes always, if you specify a machine name the autoexec executes only on this machine.
The machine name list will become an attribute of every single item.

I had the same problem: I use SyMenu with about up to 5 computers.
I have a SyItem - AutoHotkey script - to start the programs depending on which computer I work.
Would be nice to use only SyMenu. smile

Also nice suggestion, timrray! Toast
