Startup Folder

Post by NictraSavios »

Is there anyway that raininstaller can put a shortcut to a .exe in the startup folder?

No, there is not today. For obvious security reasons, I would oppose any such capability.

Agreed. Rainstaller's purpose is strictly to install skins and skin-related resources to the Rainmeter folders. If you want to start an executable addon related to a Rainmeter skin, it should be launched by the skin in question.

It would also be completely at odds with any "portable" install.
