[Elecraft] KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

[Lyn Norstad]

Frank –

 

Glad that helped.  It’s a useful tool for any apps you always want so you gate get them started quickly without waiting around while the system goes thru its boot gyrations.

 

I remember having to write batch files in early versions of Windows (and DOS …) to do the same thing.  This is much easier to implement and to change when the need arises.

PS – We’ve worked a few times on 160m FT8.  Lots of interesting stuff on your QRZ page!

Many thanks for your help.   That worked perfectly!  KAP remote just started when I rebooted using access via ANYDESK

I appreciate you taking the time to clarify for me.  At first I couldn't find the STARUP folder as it was hidden in AppData which I could not

see .  Discovered how to make it visible and went from there.  Thanks again!

I have both the KPA and KAT500 utilities set to do this, along with my
browser (Chrome) set to QRZ.com on one of my Win 7 systems.  It works
perfectly.

How To Start a Windows 7 Program Automatically (quoted from "dummies")

1 Click Start→All Programs. ...
2 Right-click the Startup folder and click Open. ...
3 Right-click Start and choose Open Windows Explorer. ...
4 Locate the program you want to start when you start Windows, then drag
into the Startup folder. ...
5 Click the Close button in the upper-right corner of both Explorer windows
to close them.
6 Reboot.

Note: This is not the same as "Pin To Start Menu."

After a failed attempt to operate my remote KPA500 using a STARTECH serial
server I have reverted back to a PC at the site.  To streamline operations I
want the KPA remote software to start up when the PC is remotely booted. 
Right clicking and selecting Pin to Start does not work.  It does not appear
in the list of STARTUP programs.  KAT500 works Ok in STARTUP but not the
KPA500.

Does anyone know why?...or is there something else I need to do.  The PC
runs Win 7
