AndrosForever Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I installed Windows 8 on my Sig Laptop a few months back and I am annoyed by a problem I've yet to find a solution to.I am looking to start several .exe programs at start instead of having to manually start each one at startup.Here's what I've already tried:Putting shortcuts in Startup folder in both "secret" appdata folders = Nothing happens.Setting a program to launch at User logon Using Event Scheduler works 30-50% of the time.Someone pls help me make something so basic and essential work on Win 8 (something that always worked flawlessly in previous Windows versions trough Startup folder).
