#3 WinSize2 forgetting to run at windows boot.
Hi there,
When I open the Special Parameters settings page and go into 'Special' tab and tick the option for 'Start WinSize 2 with Login' it asks to click ok and then the program does not remember the setting, going back in unticks the options.

Not sure if this is write permissions to an ini file or similar? It's installed to; C:\Program Files\WinSize2
This thing on?
Still happening! Original Surface Book, Win 10:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 20H2
Installed on 11/25/2020
OS build 19042.1237
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3530.0
The Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinSize2.EXE shortcut worked.
My notes:
To start WS2 automatically:
Special Parameters -> Special -> Start WinSize2 with Login
--> But the checkmark isn't saved ???
The ini file shows it:
C:\Users\loren\AppData\Roaming\MagraSoft\WinSize2.INI
StartWithLogon=1
But not the registry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(no entry)
Added shortcut to:
C:\Users\loren\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
WinSize2.EXE
Other programs there are in:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\StartupFolder
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\StartupFolder
Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2642381790-255542418-257213659-1001\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\StartupFolder
--> But not WinSize2
--> Not even after restarting and seeing it load automatically!
(It flashes its colorful icon at center screen during startup.)
It is found in:
