How to run Application.exe before windows startup?
I found the way to do this was to create a scheduled task with a trigger for "on startup". This starts the application before windows logon. This is particularly useful in a server type environment if you need to have something run that is not a service.
It is simple. The process is.
- Run gpedit.msc
- Go to computer Configuration -> Windows Setting -> Scripts(Startup/shutdown)
- Go to Startup properties then you will get the new windows.
- Now add the program that you want to run before login.
The right way to do this is to implement a Windows service.
