How to add a startup process on Windows (example: task manager)

If you want a program to run automatically when you turn on your pc you have to follow these steps:

(I explain it through the example of task manager)


  • rightclick Start - Programs - Startup (italian: Start - Tutti i programmi - Esecuzione automatica) and select Open
  • rightclick on the folder and select New - Shortcut (italian: Nuovo - Collegamento)
  • insert the path of the executable file of the desired process (e.g. C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe )
  • rightclick on your new shortcut and choose Properties if you want, for example, to run the program minimized to tray or if you want a normal window to open
