How to include a program on startup?

To include a program to run on startup, you can add a shortcut to the program's executable file in the appropriate startup folder on your operating system. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows, but here's a general guide for Windows 10:

1. Using the "Run" Command:
   Press Win + R to open the Run dialog. Type shell:startup and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder for the current user.

2. Using File Explorer:
   Open File Explorer and navigate to:

   cssCopy code
   %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
   
   

   This will take you to the Startup folder.

3. Create a Shortcut:
   Right-click inside the Startup folder and choose "New" > "Shortcut."

4. Specify the Program Path:
   In the "Create Shortcut" wizard, click "Browse" and select the executable file of the program you want to run on startup. Click "Next."

5. Choose a Name:
   Provide a name for the shortcut (this can be different from the program name if you prefer). Click "Finish."

6. Confirm Startup:
   You should now see the shortcut in the Startup folder. Whenever you log in to your user account, the program associated with the shortcut will automatically launch.

Remember that adding too many programs to startup can slow down your computer's startup time. Only include programs that you use frequently and need to start with your computer.

Keep in mind that these instructions are specific to Windows 10. If you're using a different version of Windows, the steps might be slightly different, but the general idea is the same: create a shortcut to the program's executable in the appropriate startup folder.
