Normally after I log in to Windows all the startup programs will begin loading but there have been times when the startup programs happened at the login screen before logging in. I would much rather have it load at the login screen because I won't always be at my pc during boot up. Is there a way to configure this?
Click on Start and Type gpedit. Click on Group policy editor and find Startup under
Computer configuration - Windows settings. Double Click on Starttup - here you can add scripts or powershell scripts..
Also adding item to Startup folder under any admin should do it. Another way is to run scheduled task at startup
I didn't know simply putting it in the Startup folder would make it load at the login screen. That sounds a lot easier than doing it through gpedit. I'll give it a try thx.
Sorry, your My Computer [specs] don't reflect much at all about the computer, actually nothing.
It didn't work. I tried the Startup folder with elevated/non-elevated shortcut and I tried making a scheduled task. The Startup folder didn't work at all. The scheduled task only works after I logon, even if I choose the option to start the program whether I'm logged on or not. The program is Logitech Gaming Software by the way. I'm not keen on trying the script thing because I have no idea how to do it. It's not a huge deal. Just thought it could save me a little time when logging in because I have to wait for the Logitech software to load before I can use my mouse effectively.
