An AHK file with such content
works A-OK when I execute it by hand. But when I put in

C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

folder an LNK leading to such BAT then it will not start itself automatically after resetting the system, even if I select for it

Properties > Advanced > Run as Administrator

from its shell menu


Why is that and how to avert this inability? This isn't the first time I have a problem with a link put in the Startup folder leading to some executable file - in a matter of fact this is exactly why I have inserted there a shortcut leading to this intermediary batch file instead of an LNK leading directly to AutoHotkey script file

Well, does anyone happen to know?

Why don't you just execute:
Saso

Because it works even worse: it leaves CMD window opened despite adding the script
at its end - present until I close this window manually or in whatever way that AHK script. And it also does not auto-start the AHK in question after reset of the system


But what does work is this variant
but only if the LNK leading to put in the Startup system folder it is not set to Run as Administrator


Thank you for trying to help

In the Start command, the first parameter is the title of the window being spawned, but actually it hardly ever shows up. Nevertheless I find it more reliable to have an actual title, eg Start "" is unreliable I think.
