Issue with loading startup programs for different Windows 10 users
I currently have 2 separate Windows 10 accounts on my PC - one for me and one for my son.
When I start Windows on my account, I run 3 programs on Startup - PowerMate.exe, Volume2.exe and Pianoteq 7.exe , by putting their shortcuts into the Startup Folder.
PowerMate.exe - controls my Griffin volume knob
Volume2.exe - controls an on screen volume display
Pianoteq 7.exe - a software piano
So far everything works normally.
However, when my son uses his account to logon, these programs don't work anymore - Windows seems to be loading another instance of these 3 programs when he logs on, which causes a conflict in their processes. (I notice 2 instances of PowerMate.exe , Volume2.exe and Pianoteq 7.exe in Task Manager)
Is there away I can configure windows to, upon logon to any of my 2 accounts - looks for these 3 processes in task manager and kill/ shut them off AND THEN reload these 3 programs?
Or perhaps some other easier way to get this to work?
Thanks very much in advance.
