In previous versions of Windows, the startup folder in Windows can be easily located in the start menu. Windows decided to add a dedicated graphical interface to its operating system to move away from using command lines and batch scripts to customize its startup folder.Įven though Windows completely changed how to include various programs to run during boot, the startup folder is still present in Windows 10. In the past, users would modify the batch script file using a text editor to include custom programs ready for use every time Windows boots up.


In earlier versions of Windows, the startup folder in Windows would run a batch script that contained a list of programs that would run automatically along with the Windows operating system.
