Hello boys and girls, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Today I took a day off from work on my personal business. And as soon as I did everything, I decided to write an article for you. The topic came to my mind as soon as I came across one of the articles on my own blog.

The fact is that I wrote about. Yes, this is definitely a necessary thing, but I forgot something. Namely, I forgot to tell you how to add a program to startup. This function is no less useful, since it often happens that I need some program to immediately start with windows, or open a file.

Previously, when I did not know about the desktop, I refined myself in such a way that I loaded it into autorun Text Document with a list of reminders and to-dos. Thus, every time windows was loaded, this document automatically opened for me.

I don't know why you want to do this, but let me show you the process:

Using the "Run" line

The second way to get into the startup folder, as for me, is much faster, since you don’t have to look for long paths, but just type the magic word into the “Run” line.

As you can see, a completely different folder has opened for you, which is located along the path C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp. By the way, you can also go into this folder without calling "Run", but as I said earlier, using the line is more convenient and faster.

In addition to the above items, you can add files to autorun using the registry editor or third-party programs. But you need it when there is a simpler and reliable way? Standard Tools let you get it done quickly.

In general, it is convenient to use any chips that will allow you to work much faster at the computer and optimize the work process. That's why I recommend you watch video course on productive work at the computer. Everything is put on the shelves, told in an accessible language for any user, and most importantly, that the information is very necessary and useful. Highly recommend.

Well, that concludes my post today. I hope that you will draw on the information that I have given you here, or at least simply find it necessary and interesting. In any case, do not forget to subscribe to my blog and tell your friends in in social networks. All the best and good luck. Bye Bye!

Sincerely, Dmitry Kostin

1. Hello, I want to ask how to add a program to startup so that when you turn on the computer, this program starts itself. I want to automate everything in my operating system. For example, a person got up in the morning, turned on the computer and went to wash, then have breakfast, and Windows booted up at that time, went online by itself and automatically launched several desired programs. A person approached the computer, and everything is ready for work.
2. Hello admin, first of all, thank you, I read your article and created the necessary string parameter in the registry, that is, everything was as taught, now after turning on the computer, the Internet connects itself. But then a wonderful thought came to my mind, but what if I make my favorite browser start automatically in the same way Google Chrome. That is, I turn on the computer, the Internet is automatically connected first of all, then the browser and the program in which I work are launched Adobe Photoshop. Can this be arranged somehow?
3. I have such a question - I added shortcuts to several programs and a browser to the Startup folder, and so for some reason the browser sometimes starts before the moment when the computer goes online, so browser pages naturally open with errors. I don't have a router, but for automatic access to the Internet, I created a "batch file" and also placed it in the startup folder.

How to add a program to startup

Hello friends, I think after we learned how to create automatic connection to the Internet, then adding any program to startup will be like a couple of trifles for us. Let's look at three ways to solve this problem.

Note: add to startup only necessary programs, since it takes time to load any program, and if you add a dozen programs to startup at once, your Windows will load many times slower.

The first method is very simple, we will simply add the shortcuts of the programs we need to the startup folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.

The second way is also easy. We will add the program to startup using the registry.

The third method is more complicated, in it we will use the task scheduler, it will come in handy if any program refuses to start in the first way.

The easiest way add program to startup, is to use the StartUp folder specially designed for this purpose, located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp. Let's copy the Adobe Photoshop and Total Commander shortcuts, as well as the Opera and Google Chrome browser shortcuts to this folder, then restart the computer and see if the whole company starts automatically.

Before adding a program to the startup folder, you need to find this very folder, in early operating systems, such as Windows 7, it was very easy, you had to click on the Start menu, then All Programs and Startup. In Windows 8, there is no Start menu and you have to constantly strain the gray matter to find anything previously associated with the Start menu. We will do the tricky thing and get into the startup folder through the command shell: Common Startup .

In the lower left corner of the Windows 8 desktop, right-click and select Run,

Enter the command shell:Common Startup in the input field.

And please, our Startup folder opens, copy the shortcuts of those programs that we want to add to startup into it. I add Adobe Photoshop and Total Commander and more Opera and Google Chrome browser shortcuts, then restart the computer.

Everything loaded automatically for me, and the Internet, and programs, and browsers. But, if you do not have a router, and you set up an automatic connection to the Internet according to our article "How to make an automatic connection to the Internet", then in some cases browsers will start before the Internet connection occurs, which means that in all browsers instead of open internet pages will have errors.

To avoid this, you need to use the task scheduler, this is an excellent tool built into Windows and few people use it, because they simply don’t know how, but this is not about us friends. Task Scheduler will set the program interval between the full loading of Windows and the launch of this program. That is, the program you need (for example, a browser) will start a little later (for example, after 30 seconds) from the moment when Windows goes online.

How to add a program to startup using registry editing

We need to create a string value in the registry, it's very simple. I have an FTP client program installed on my computer - FileZilla and I need to add it to autoload, I want to do everything using the registry.
Right click on the Start button and "Run"

Enter "regedit" and OK, the registry opens.

Registry sections responsible for autoloading programs:
For the current user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
For all users:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I work alone at the computer and I will choose the first branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I go to the section and click right click mouse, select in the menu Create-> String parameter,

You can choose any name, for example FileZilla.

Now we specify the path to the program, right-click on the created parameter and select "Change",

Specify the location of the program executable file: C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe and click OK.

From now on, the FTP client program - FileZilla is in auto Windows boot 8 and the next time you turn on the computer, the program will start automatically.

How to add a program to startup using the task scheduler

To increase the hacker experience, let's run some program through the task scheduler, let the same Opera browser and in the scheduler settings specify that it starts some time after the launch of the rest of the programs, so as not to create crowds in the general startup.

Run-> enter the command in the input field mmc.exe taskschd.msc

and the task scheduler opens. Action -> Create task.

Specify the "Name" of the task, for example "Opera" Go to the Triggers tab

And click "Create"

in the item "Start task" we specify "At login". We postpone the task for 30 seconds, click OK.

"Actions" tab, click on the "Create" button

And in the window that appears, click Browse,

We indicate in the explorer the location of the executable file of our program C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe and click Open

And click OK again.

At the end of the article I want to tell you that there is good program AnVir Task Manager is a cool startup manager, in this manager you can exclude any program from startup but also add the program you need to delayed startup. This happens a little simpler than in the task scheduler I presented. If interested, you can read our detailed article on this topic.

Instruction

Before adding to Windows startup, start it and go to settings. Quite often, developers of many programs, whether they are special office utilities or players, provide the "Run together in Windows" option, which you just need. If you found it and indicated it, then the program itself will be registered in the system menu and will start with .

However, if there is no such parameter, and the program needs to be added to startup, use the following algorithm of actions. Create a shortcut to the executable exe file of the program and place it anywhere on your hard drive, or, for example, on the desktop for quick access.

Go to the start menu. In standard programs, find the "Startup" submenu. Right-click on it and select "Open" from the list of commands that appears. A window will appear in front of you, which is a startup menu in the form of a standard folder Windows Explorer. Drag or copy the shortcut you created earlier for the program you want to add to startup from your desktop to this folder.

The shortcut added in this way will launch the program simultaneously with the start operating system while the computer is booting. If you need to add a program to startup for all users this computer, then in the “Documents and Settings” folder in the root directory of the system drive, find the corresponding subfolders of the programs displayed in the Start menu for All Users. And add your program shortcut to shared folder"Autoload".

note

There are still several ways to add an application to startup. Not every program can be loaded through the registry, for some it is not easy to make a shortcut, and for another, autoloading through the scheduler is not suitable. In Windows 7 and earlier versions of the OS, the most in a simple way Adding to startup was dragging the program's shortcut to the Startup folder, which was displayed in the Start menu.

Useful advice

And the second method will tell you about how to remove the program from startup, which was thrown there after installation. Method 1. How to add a program to startup in Windows 7. Click "Start" -\u003e "All Programs" -\u003e "Startup", right-click, and in the menu that appears, click "Open". After that, a folder will open where you can add a shortcut to launch the program that you would like to see when the system boots.

If you often install and test programs, and you need to add several programs to startup, it is not necessary to install third-party software. Can be quite manageable in standard ways adding executable files to the startup menu.

You will need

• Software regedit.

Instruction

The easiest way to add items to a menu is to manually add . In order to add a program shortcut to the startup menu, you must click the "Start" menu - select "Programs" - right-click on the line "Startup" - "Open".

Enter the name of your shortcut - click the "Finish" button. You have created a shortcut in this folder.

To add items to autoload there is a more difficult way. It has to do with editing the registry. If you understand it well, then this method will seem to you no less easy than the previous one. Click the "Start" menu - select "Run" - type regedit - click "OK".

In the program window that opens, on the left side, you will see the registry folders. Follow the following path: . This folder contains programs that run only when the current user logs into the operating system. For example, in order to add a shortcut to startup Notepad programs++, you must add a key with the following content: "Notepad++.exe"=" C:Program FilesNotepad++
otepad++.exe".

It is not difficult to register a program at startup. Moreover, a lot of utilities have already been created that help simplify this process. Startup settings are in the registry, and you can replace these data without problems.

You will need

• The program to be placed into startup.

Instruction

For some individual user they are responsible in, for some program for all users -. To add some program to the registry, just run regedit.exe (C:\WINDOWSSystem32
egedit.exe), find the corresponding key, add an entry like "FIREFOX.EXE"="C:Program filesMozillafirefox.exe" (for example - "NAME OF THE EXECUTABLE PROGRAM.EXE"="Path to it").

In Windows, there is a special "Startup" folder, which also contains shortcuts to programs launched at startup. It is enough to put there a shortcut of the program that you would like to see when you boot Windows and after the next reboot it will appear. The Startup folder is located in C:\Documents and SettingsAll Users (Username)Main MenuProgramsStartup.

Exist third party programs and system tweaks, which also allow you to change the list of programs that are in startup. There are a great many of these programs, I would like to note one of the most popular - this is CCleaner (cleans the system and has alternative options windows settings), total commander (file manager). Both programs are quite easy to use and have a sufficient set of settings for changing registry data and autoload.

note

Do not directly edit the Windows registry keys, this can lead to a system crash. When editing registry keys, you should be careful.

• How to add a program to startup, method for Windows 7

Scripts can be added to startup certain programs. This is not always convenient, given that the interface of the operating Windows systems provides for special utility to perform the same function.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. I am often asked how to create an autorun windows programs 7, so that every time you turn on the computer, it starts up and, plus, with certain parameters. Nothing is impossible. We will look at several ways to do this.

The first easiest and perhaps the most correct one is to look in the parameters or settings of the application that you want to add to startup. Most likely, for most, there will be a “Run at Windows startup” option or something similar. This method is correct also because the program can prescribe specific startup variables, which in the case of manual method you just might not know them.

The second way is to add the program shortcuts we need to the Startup folder. It works both for the user under whose login you usually log in, and for specifying the launch for all users on your computer. However, for the second option, you must have administrator rights.

The third way is to add a launch line to Windows registry. We considered how to open the registry.

And the fourth way is to use the task scheduler built into Windows.

How to add a program to startup windows 7

Autostart windows 7 programs for the current user

Ever since the early operating system Windows 95, Microsoft has taken care of the convenience of adding programs and shortcuts to startup. This happens by moving or copying shortcuts with parameters or just shortcuts to a folder specially created for this. It is called StartUp (in Russian Windows versions it's called "Startup"). The full path to it looks like this: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.

You can use File Explorer to move the shortcuts you need to this folder, but it's hidden by default and you won't see it. To make it visible, you need to open Windows Explorer and go to system disk(on which your operating system is installed). In the top menu, select "Tools" and then "Folder Options". If in the conductor Top Menu is not displayed, you must press the "Alt" key once.

Next, select the "View" tab and at the very bottom of the parameters find the switch "Show hidden files, folders and drives. Switch it and click OK. In the Explorer list for the folder in which you were located, all hidden elements, including the ProgramData folder.

Please note that you need to navigate by folder names in Russian, although the full path looks in English as mentioned above.

Now we copy into it all the shortcuts to the programs that need to be loaded automatically at startup.

The method above was a little more complicated than it can be done, but it is useful for a general knowledge of the autorun structure. The easiest way to get to the StartUp folder is through the Start menu.

1. Open the "Start" menu and click "All Programs" in it. In the list we find the bookmark "Startup" we need and press the right mouse button. Select "Open" from the drop-down list.

2. As a result, the same windows 7 startup folder will open as in the example above. We take all the necessary program shortcuts and move (copy) to this folder. All these operations will be performed only for the user under whose login you are logged in. To add programs to autorun for all existing users, you need to open the folder a little differently.

1. Open the "START" menu and click on "All Programs" in the list. Find the Startup tab and right-click on it. In the drop-down menu, instead of "Open", click "Open a common menu for all". Unlike the previous opening, the folder will contain the entire list of shortcuts for auto download for all users. Add the necessary shortcuts to this folder.

Open the startup menu common to all

For example, you can see the difference for my computer in the figure below.

To check whether the launch of the programs that you added really works, you need to restart the computer and see if the applications start. Everything worked correctly for me and everything loaded at startup the first time.

Variant for Windows 8

This instruction is applicable for Windows 7. If you want to do the same with Windows 8, you will most likely encounter the problem of the start button not being in the usual place. For this case, you can do the following.

Click in the lower left corner on the desktop Windows desktop 8 right-click and select "Execute" in the list or press the key combination on the Win + R keyboard.

As a result, a window for launching commands and applications will open. In the input field, type or copy the text from here without quotes: "shell: Common Startup". Click "Ok" and the autorun folder window for Windows 8 will immediately open. In the same way as before, we copy all the shortcuts necessary for downloading and reboot to check.

Autorun programs through the registry

This method is not more difficult than all the previous ones. We will create an autoload in the registry.

1. Press the "START" button and type "regedit" in the quick search bar. Then click on the file that appears in the list or press the "Enter" button. Or you can press the key combination Win + R and type "regedit" in the Run box and click "OK". This will open the Windows 7 Registry Editor.

2. In the window, we need to find the necessary section. It will also be different for the current user and for all users. If necessary for the current one, then we find the following section: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. For all users, the section looks like this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

2. In the selected section in the right semi-window, right-click and select Create -> String parameter

3. Choose an arbitrary name for the parameter (any name you understand, for example, the name of the program that you add with the word Run).

4. Right-click on the created string parameter and select "Change".

5. A window for adding (changing) a value for the parameter will open.

It's all! Your application will now load when Windows starts.

Using Task Scheduler to Create Startups

This method is not at all trivial, not many people know it at all, although it is standard application with the function of launching applications for the Windows 7 operating system. With it, you can create a lot of useful tasks with all kinds of parameters (for example, time, day, delay, etc.). To get acquainted, we will create an application launch along with the system launch, and you can continue further study and use yourself.

1. Press the key combination Win + R and enter the command in the application launch line: mmc.exe taskschd.msc

2. Select the menu item "Create task"

3. In the "General" tab, enter the name for our task. I named it "Launch Chrome Browser". Briefly and clearly in Russian.

4. Go to the "Triggers" tab and click "Create ...". Select in the "Create a task:" item - At startup and click OK.

Fill in the Triggers tab

5.Go to the "Actions" tab and click "Create ...". We select the type of action "Start the program", click the browse button and select the application to launch in the explorer. At the end, click OK.

6. As a result, your created task should appear in the list of active tasks. After rebooting, programs will automatically start when you turn on the computer.

Video

Once upon a time, I told you how in Windows . It is clear that such a procedure relieves the system of unnecessary load. We have dealt with this. But there are also reverse situations when the program does not start with the computer, but it is necessary for daily use.

Today we are going to talk about the topic adding programs to startup. I want to say right away that for different software, this procedure may differ slightly. Other than that, it still depends on the version of Windows. But we will naturally look at the examples in the Seven and in latest Windows 8.

Add a program to startup through a folder

There is a classic way to add a program to startup. Its essence lies in the fact that we need to put a program shortcut in a special folder on the computer.

open Start - All Programs.

Locate the folder there and right-click on it and select Conductor.

We will open a folder where there are shortcuts to those programs that run with Windows. If you put shortcuts to other programs here, they will also be launched along with the computer.

Here's what I ended up with:

You can restart your PC and see the result.

This method is more typical for Windows 7, since in the G8 the Start menu we are used to is no longer there. But despite this, the Startup folder itself also exists and you can find it in the following way.

Press the keyboard shortcut Win + R and enter the command shell: Common Startup , and then click OK.

After a second, the Startup folder will open. Which one did you need add program to startup? So we throw shortcuts here and try to restart our laptop or computer.

This is the first way, but if it doesn't work, then I have others for you.

Adding a program through the Startup menu

Perhaps you remember how programs are removed from startup??? So in the same way they can be returned. Through the key combination Win + R, run the command Run and enter msconfig.

We go to the masonry and see what they offer us here Open task manager. This applies to Windows 8. Click this link and get into startup.

The Status item indicates Enabled or Disabled autostart programs. Here you can select any program and click the Enable button. Thus, we added the program to startup.

If you have Windows 7, then it's even easier there. When you go to the tab, you will see all the programs that run with the computer (there are checkmarks next to them). And those that can be added to startup, it is possible to check the box. After that, you will need to save the changes.
