Auto Start Apps On Mac

While a number of apps you install on Windows 10 feature an option to launch automatically when your computer loads, you can also configure any app whether the option is available or not by simply adding its shortcut to the Startup folder.

  1. Listen, here will be a list of apps and files and folders that open at start up time. Most of them will be checked at the “Open at login” checkbox.Therefore, if you need to stop them from opening when you start up your Mac, simply uncheck them at the checkbox. You can also manually delete them from the list by clicking on the minus sign (-) button.

That was a setting (in iTunes, I think) before OSX, so they are not very up to date on Macs. It is a CD that has an HTML file on it. What I want is for a MAC user to put in the CD and the HTML file opens automatically.

Also, you're not just limited to desktop applications. You can set Windows Store apps to start automatically as well as files, folders, and websites.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to automatically launch apps, files, folders, and websites on startup to speed up your daily tasks.

How to launch apps on startup

If you work with the same apps or launch the same websites on a regular basis, then use these steps to get them started automatically as you sign in to your Windows 10 account:

  1. Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.

  2. Type the following command to open the Startup folder and press Enter:

    shell:startup

  3. Click OK.

  4. Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.

  5. Type the following command to open the Applications folder, which contains shortcuts of all your installed applications (including Windows Store apps), and press Enter:

    shell:AppsFolder

  6. Click OK.

  7. Snap the Applications folder to the left, and the Startup folder to the right.

  8. Select the app you want from the Applications folders and drag and drop to the Startup folder.

  9. Repeat step No. 8 for all the applications you want to launch after signing in to your account.

Once you completed the steps, every time you access your account apps will open automatically. If you want an app to start maximized, just click the maximize button, and then the app will remember the window size.

In the above instructions, we show the steps to add an app, but you can also add files, folders, and shortcuts to websites. For example, if you usually work with an Excel spreadsheet, you don't need to add the shortcut to open Excel. It's easier to right-click, drag, and drop the spreadsheet file in the Startup folder and select the Create shortcut here option from the context menu.

Just remember that each shortcut you include in the Startup folder will cause Windows 10 to take a bit longer to load, as such it's only recommended to keep the list of items small as possible. (You can also refer you our guide to manage apps on startup.)

When manual login is required, the “Automatic login” menu is dimmed or doesn't show the account name. For example:

  • If FileVault is turned on, manual login is required for all accounts. You can turn FileVault off.
  • If an account uses an iCloud password to log in, manual login is required for that account. You might also see the message “A user with an encrypted home folder can't log in automatically.” When changing the account password, you can choose not to use the iCloud password.
