Run Script on Login/Start in Windows

You can automatically run a script on Windows during login by placing files in your users "Programs\Start Up" folder. It's useful for running *.bat scripts.

You can easily access this location by opening the "Run" dialog - Windows + r and typing shell:startup.

If you're an admin, you can also set this for all users by typing shell:common startup, which will open the shared Start Up folder.

If this is too much, you can also accomplish a similar thing by creating a "Scheduled Task". In the Windows search bar, type "Task Scheduler". Open this then click "Actions" -> "Create Task"
