Solve : To instruct computer to start a program.?

Answer»

Hello

I am downloading 4.5 GB file (Mandriva linux os) using uTorrent( a downloadmanager).
My platform is Windows XP.
After a night of nonstop effort I downloaded only 27% of the file.
How can I instruct my computer to start running uTorrent whenever
the computer is started?
Hope you can understand my question.

Cheers.
PrasadPersonally, I don't have Utorrent installed, but there should be an option to have it start with Windows. Look in the program's PREFERENCES. There is no option in preferences to start the program
along with the Windows.
I herd there are SETTINGS in windows to do it. But don't
know where.Anybody familiar with windows settings,please
help me.

Try adding it to the startup folder.

Create a shortcut to Utorrent in this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username\Start Menu\Programs\Startuphttp://www.simplehelp.net/2008/10/06/how-to-automatically-download-your-favorite-tv-shows-using-utorrent/

what's wrong with the "start uTorrent on System Startup" option?
That would work as well.....

Sounds like dial-up...I know there is options in utorrent to shutdown the program and im pretty sure that it would have options to start it up in options, do have it on this computer currently... if you click on start and click run you can type in msconfig to get the startup services for your computer in which you ENABLE and DISABLE them from starting up at windows start up.. Yes. There is option to set utorrent to start when
os starts. UTorrent-> Options->Preferences->General->start utorrent on systemstartup.
I also coppied uTorrenticon in "C:\Documents and Settings\%username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup".
Thankyou very much.
PrasadSo it works on startup now?Yes UTorrent started automatically when I restarted
my computer.

prasadGood work. Thank you Carbon Dudeoxide.
