Miscellaneous Tips

Startup Apps

• Open the Run dialog box, enter shell:startup, then right-click inside the Startup folder and select New > Shortcut to add a program.
• If you can't find the app, enter shell:appsfolder in the Run dialog box, then drag apps from that folder into the Startup folder.

Some apps offer a 'run at startup' option, which is an easier way to add a program to startup in Windows 10.
