Auto Start Applications

[Madhu Mani]

I have an application that I'd like to start running immediately when
Windows boots. This can be done by placing it in Startup.

However, after it is launch, the user has to hit <Enter> to Enable the
application. Is there a way in windows that I can launch the app and
pass it <Enter>?

Cheers,
Madhu

This depends entirely on the application. Some apps will flush
the keyboard buffer as they start; others won't. You need to
try it for yourself. Here is an example that illustrates the technique.
Run the following commands from a Command Prompt:

time (the command waits for your input)
echo. | time (the command won't wait)
