CmdStartup

In case you are commonly using a console app to perform most of the tasks on the computer, then there is a good chance that you may want it to start with Windows. As the name suggests, CmdStartup is a tiny tool designed to help you automate the startup of Command Line when booting the PC.

Features:

• Automates the startup of Command Line


• Modifies a registry key to enable autorun feature


• Does not include an interface or settings


• Lightweight and simple to use

Technical Specifications:

• File: CmdStartupSetup.exe


• Publisher: RadAd


• Price: FREE


• Platform: Windows

CmdStartup is not an application per se, but rather a script that modifies a registry key and enables the autorun feature. Simply run the script, and it will change the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\Autorun registry so that the default console runs at boot.

It is recommended to create a backup before using this script since it involves editing registry keys. The backup can be helpful if you decide to remove the autorun feature. Note that the script solely enables the autorun and does not provide a way to revert changes. Reverting autorun requires deleting the registry key.

Usage:

CmdStartup can be useful in various situations, like troubleshooting OS issues that prevent Windows from booting. By running Command Line at startup, you can use tools such as bootrec or diskpart to repair boot configuration data, create a new boot sector, or fix system partitions.

Regardless of the reasons for running Command Line at startup, CmdStartup is a lightweight script that simplifies enabling the autorun feature.
