Hi! i read several threads about this option,and all the answers where about,copy a shortcut to startup folder or make a task in task scheduler,after all is basically a portable app,all i am asking is,could you please add an option in General -> Startup & Exit to start XY with windows that let the user tick or not and decide to enjoy this great feature (at least for me) i hope that this feature doesn't give you too much trouble Don and you could include this in a future release,i will gladly test it if you need,thanks!

Hi Don! any word on this feature? sorry for being a little impatient on this! and as always,thank you so much for your work in this amazing file manager!

I already said it in "several threads about this option". Not interested.

Thank you for your quick answer! well i guess i will have to manage somehow...

Why does this seem to be such a problem?
Windows has provided ways to autostart applications for quite some time and they usually work, so what would a XY specific option to do such thing do any better?

As said, there are numerous ways to set any application to start with Windows. The simplest one is to copy a shortcut of the application in this folder:
This has the advantage of:

• Being portable (you can copy-paste your shortcuts on any computer)
• Being backup-able (you can backup your shortcuts)

Then you can disable any application startup temporarily without deleting the shortcut:

• Pre-Windows 10: Win+R → "msconfig" → Startup tab
• Windows 10: Task manager → Startup tab
  

Thank you for this tip @Leito and your comment @RhalphM i really appreciate it!
