About Startup Folders
If you put a content file, such as a .exe file (shortcut) or a text file, in the startup folder, it will start automatically after Windows starts. If you have a file other than the exe file, it will be launched by the relevant application.
About Windows 8 startup behavior
For Windows 8, it runs when the desktop is displayed, not when the first Start menu (in modern form) is displayed.
About the Windows 8 Startup Folder
On Windows 8, you can't open the startup folder from the Start menu as you did in Windows 7 and earlier, so you need to open the folder directly from File Explorer.
About the AppData folder
The AppData folder in Windows Vista and later is not visible by default. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, check "Show all files and folders" from "Folder Options".
On Windows 8, check "Hidden files" from the Explorer menu.
