Starting Program on Computer Startup

[mhester]

I have an executable LabView program that I would like to start running automatically when the computer is started. How can I do this? Thanks for the help.

In order to answer your question a few more details are needed. What is your OS? Are you using some flavor of Windows or some other OS? If Windows then you can start the program at login by including a shortcut in the Startup folder. You can access this by right clicking on the start button and clicking open and then going to the startup folder (which will probably be under the programs folder). Depending on the flavor of Windows you may be able to set the program to start for some users and not for others or to start for all users.

Hi,

I think this should answer your question:

A more basic way to do this would be to schedule a task in Windows task scheduler.
