  How to add to favorites a command that is run in the Run window
  
  

  Code:

  shell:startup

shell:common startup

  
  Yes I know that Autostart is already defined in Special Folder but I'm asking out of curiosity. For example, Autostart for All Users shell:common startup is not defined in Special Folder so how can I add it manually?

  Endrju,
  
  I came up with a solution for you. It seems there should be a better way but I couldn't get it to work.
  

  • Create a cmd (plain text) file. I called mine "Shell-Startup.cmd" .
    
  • In this file put " start shelltartup ".
    
  • Create a QAP Favorite of type application and point to the above file. You should also be able to right-click on the file and select "Add file to Quick Access Popup menu"
    
  • Save and test
    

  Let us know how you make out.
  It seems like a separate file shouldn't be needed but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe QAP doesn't like the colon after shell.

  Hi,
  
  I did as you wrote, I think I did it correctly, unfortunately it does not work 
  
  
  
  
  
  EDIT
  
  After a small modification of the file, it is already working 
  
  

  Code:

  explorer.exe shell:common startup

  
  
  I also found a easier and better way
  
  Application (path and file name)
  explorer
  
  Parameters
  shell:common startup

  Looks good. I believe this is what you did. It works for me:

  BTW, "shell:common startup" is available in "Special Folders" under the "Sysadmin" section (with all others "Common..." special folders) and under the "All" sections.

  Indeed, you are right Jean, I overlooked it. Thank you.
