    Run a program at startup


    Greetings,

    I already tried asking this in Microsoft Answers.

    I would like to have a command script (.cmd) run automatically, making sure:

    1. The program doesn't start until the user logs in
    2. The program doesn't start for other users

    I thought I could use this startup folder:

    %appData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    But the behavior seems to have changed. In the past the items in shell:Startup ran when I logged in, but now they run at startup (before I log in). Also, in previous versions of Windows this folder was full of items, but now it is empty.

    How can I make a program run when I log in (not before)?

    Thanks,
    Shane.

    :)

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

    I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

    Run a program at startup

    Cannot make a program to run at startup

    I've used a program called Startup Manager to manually create an entry for this program called speedfan

    Run a program at startup [​IMG]

    It also appears in the startup tab on Task Manager

    Run a program at startup [​IMG]


    But I doesn't work.
    The program default behavior is to open minimized as an icon in tray (it works manually)

    Any suggestions ?
