Step 3: Adding a Shortcut for the .BAT File

Finally, you will need to create a shortcut for your .BAT file and place it in the "Startup" folder for the user who is configured to log on automatically. To accomplish this, follow these steps:

  1. Log on to the computer as the xTuple Connect Batch Manager admin user

  2. Right-click on the Windows START button

  3. Select the "Explore" option

  4. This will land you in the "Start Menu" directory

  5. Within the "Start Menu" directory, open the "Programs" folder

  6. Within the "Programs" directory, open the "Startup" folder

  7. Drag the .BAT shortcut into the "Startup" folder

Once you have completed the steps above, the setup for this technique is complete. The xTuple Connect Batch Manager admin user will be automatically logged on when the computer reboots and the xTuple Connect Batch Manager .BAT script will be executed.

Tip

You may also want to set the screen saver for the auto log on user to "On resume, display Welcome screen". You might also want to set a wait time of one minute. By doing so, you lock out unauthorized usage of this computer within one minute of log on.
