HOWTO? Make an APP start at boot no splash screen in systray


Hi Daveb3
You need to find the icon for the program you want to open on boot-up
I would suggest that you first open it to ensure that it opens without the splash screen sometimes there is a box to tick to say do not show this screen again
If all works fine just copy the icon & paste into the startup folder below
Open the run app. (right click on the window icon extreme left on the taskbar)
Type in shell:startup
OK
The start-up location is found
Hope this help

 

Hell Freezes Over: Users Now Want the Start Screen in...

Can you explain how exactly is it easier? As Swarfega said, its much faster to find what you're looking for, and you have so many options with how the apps are arranged. Lets say I want to open the desktop calculator program. With the start menu, I have to open it, click all programs, scroll down, click accessories, scroll down, click Calculator. With the start screen, I press the windows key and click on calculator. If I have it set to show pinned tiles first, I hit the windows key, scroll down, click calculator. That's it. Now, which is more efficient, a 6 step process or 2-3 step process? The other thing is, the start menu is limited to a corner of the screen. The start screen uses the middle of the screen. It may be subtle, but there is an increase in efficiency with that as well.

If you pinned it to the task bar, that would take still fewer clicks (one). Or you could press the Windows key and start typing Calculator.

I have over a hundred programs installed on my desktop machine and I use every one of them although most are rather infrequently. Since there is no way I'm going to remember the names of all of them, having a menu is essential for me. Scanning an alphabetical vertical list is one heck of a lot easier and faster than scrolling horizontally through over a hundred tiles.
