Everything does not start automatically at windows startup

[StefanL38]

Hi,

I'm using windows 7 ultimate. I have one user with administrative privileges. Uac is deactivated.

I have activated the option Start Everything with windows and even copied a shortcut into my autostartfolder but Everything does not start
automatically. Even if I disable Norton Internet Security completely it does not start automatically. How can I make everything start automaically on system startup?

What kind of information do I have to provide to help solve this problem?

thank you very much in advance

best regards

Stefan

Stephan, remove the shortcut from the autostart folder, then add an entry to the task scheduler
(this will get around an UAC prompt IF you had UAC enabled but also this is an alternate way of starting a program at logon)

click the windows logo (start button)
type 'task scheduler' into the 'Search programs and files' area and press the enter button to run the application
click 'Create Task' (right side of the window)
Type a name (such as 'Everything')
Select 'Run with highest privileges'
Select the 'Triggers' tab and press the new button
Select 'Begin the task' --- 'At log on' and then press the 'OK' button
Select the "Actions' tab and press the new button
Browse for Everything.exe ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Everything\Everything.exe")
and then add the arguments '-startup' and press 'OK'
Select the 'Conditions' tab and deselect 'Start the task only if the computer is on AC power' and 'Stop if the computer switches to battery power' and then press the 'OK' button
Select the 'Settings' tab and deselect 'Stop the task if it runs longer than'
and finally press the 'OK' button

now Everything should start on startup

if you are still having problems, make sure the program is installed correctly (runs properly with manual startup)

Hi thank you very much for answering.

I guess I have some other problems to solve before

If I start the task scheduler I get an errormessage "remote PC not found" the options
create task is not clickable

The window in the middle says error "on reading data"

I'm german so the errormessages are my own translation and I assume they don't fit exactly to the original english error message
if you can help with this problems to this would be great. But I can understand if you don't care as this is a windows related problem
and not a problem of everything.
best regards

Sorry Stephan for the delay.
My guess would be that the user account that the task scheduler is using is not the account that you logged in to.
Check the 'General' tab on the scheduled task to see which user account you are using.
(When running the task, use the following user account)
