How to autostart any file or program when you start your PC Windows 10 2021
In this tutorial I'll show you how you can autostart any file or program. So basically I am going to show how you can add a file to the startup folder so the file or program will appear in the startup tab when you open taskmanager and so that the file automatically starts when you start your PC

Text tutorial:
1. Press Windows Key + R
2. In the run window that will appear, type in "shell:startup" (without the quotation marks of course)
3. If it's a single file you can simply drag and drop it in there (be aware that if you want to edit it you will need to edit it in the startup folder)
4. If it's a program or you still want to edit the file outside of the startup folder, right click, press "new" and then press "shortcut"
5. In there you will need to paste in the file path to the file or program you want to autostart.
6a. For programs you will need to head to where the program is installed and look for the exe that starts the program, copy the file path and paste it the shortcut window. For a file just put the file where you want it to be, right click, then click "properties" and then copy what it says after "Location: " to get the file path.
After that don't forget to add the file itself to the file path
Here is an example of a valid file path the shortcut would accept: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
6b. In case you don't know how to do all that you can also press "browse" instead of putting in the file path yourself
7. click "next"
8. there you will be able to type in a name for the shortcut
9. Just click through the rest and you now have created your shortcut. In case it isn't already just put that shortcut into the startup folder and you are done
