How to add a program to the start

Adding a program to the start

How can I add a program to start when the computer starts?

Thanks Jim

Hello

To autostart, a program that does not have this option in its installation just copy the icon to your
Startup folder.

All users this copy:

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

Click right button start - all users to explore and navigate to this folder.

------------------------------------

For specific copy of users to:

"C:\Users\The user Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

Use start - computer or Windows Explorer to access that.

Autoruns - free - see what programs are configured so that it starts automatically when your system
boots and you login. Autoruns shows you the full list of registry and file locations where
applications can configure Auto-start settings.

    There are several ways to do so. And here's one:

    In my computer or Windows explorer, open your startup folder-

    C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

    or if you want to do this for all users, C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

    Then, leaving open, open a second instance of the desktop or Windows explorer and navigate to the program you want to start automatically. Their right and drag the program to your startup folder. When you release the right mouse button, the choices that you are given, choose "Create shortcut here."

    Try this program to change the start:

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

  • I would like to add a program to the start safe mode

    Hello

    I have a VBScript script that I created to add a little extra security to my machines and I running normal start very well. What I want to do is to prevent users not allowed to Dodge it and boot into safe mode to access my machine.
    Y at - it a registry key that I can modify my script even in my machine to start in safe mode?

    The answer should be "No, it isn't" like Safe Mode is designed to use only the components of the system designed by Windows.

    You might consider disabling the F8 key to prevent the safe boot mode.  Here are some links that deal with the ways to do this: -.

  • How do you eliminate programs in the start menu so that they doesn't start automatically when you start your computer?

    There are a number of programs that start automatically and I want to stop them from starting with a boot.

    Two places to look.

    1: Start | All programs | Startup folder. Just what you don't want to delete.

    2: Start | Run and type msconfig . OK | Startup tab, uncheck the programs in question.

  • Failed to add a program to the start

    Hello

    Adding (shortcuts) programs in my startup folder has no effect on logging in my windows session (7). Here are the steps I did:

    (1) create a whatever.exe shortcut (I tried with various)

    2) move to the startup folder (start > all programs > startup)

    (3) restart

    (4) login (entered my password)

    (5) the .exe has not begun.

    These .exe not display correctly in my startup folder, and I can launch them manually.

    No idea what the problem is please?

    Thank you

    (Edited because of the vagueness)

    I can't think of a reason why they would not launch. I use Windows 7 myself at work and have about 5 things in my startup folder (Outlook, OneNote and a few icon tray that monitor network traffic and other programs).

    I think the next step in troubleshooting that I would try is to create a new user profile on the computer and see if it works there.

    The only thing I know that can remove those is Msconfig Startup tab or holding down SHIFT when connecting.

  • How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

    How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

    Hi Harry,.

    Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).

    The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup.   Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html.  Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder.  Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.

    Another option is to do this by using the registry editor.  If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin.  Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html.  I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.

    If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning.  If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured).  It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.

    I hope this helps.  Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time.  Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.

    If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer.  If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

    I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

    Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

    Hello

    1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

    4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    Method 2: Safe mode with networking

     

    Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

    Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

     

    Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

    Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

    After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    1. Click Start and then click Run.
    2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3:

    Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

    Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.
