How to add a program in windows server 2012 startup?

Below is a procedure that works on Windows 10, but from what I've seen it works on Server 2012 as well.


Step 1. Press “WinKey + R” to open “Run”;


Step 2. Type “%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup” (without quotes) and press Enter;


Step 3. A Windows Explorer window will open. It is in this folder that you must copy a shortcut to the application that you want to start with Windows;


Step 4. To create shortcuts, right-click on the application, “Send to” and choose “Desktop (create shortcut)”. Finally, copy the shortcut you just created into the “Startup” folder.
