Windows - auto launch specific applications on boot

Developing a kiosk application in Windows OS. When the machine boots up 3 things have to happen in sequence

  1. a node.js server launches
  2. the browser containing the web app launches in kiosk mode
  3. another client application launches

Is there a utlility that easilly accomplishes this, or is there an easy way to do this in the command-line? I'm guessing some type of BSCH script could also be use but I'm not a BSCH expert.

Solution

  • You could write a script in any language you want to automate this (even using nodejs) and then just install a shortcut to that script in the user's %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder.
