Win 7 and Speedfan



So, after long and careful consideration, I got win 7 Ultimate. Good or bad decision? I say it's windows.
But I'm having problems with getting Speedfan to autostart at bootup.
Does any of you run this superb program with Win 7 and did you get it to start at bootup?
If so, how did you do it? Love to get some hints an pointers.

Regards

Tried that but it will only start if I put the "original" exe file in autostart. But then all the logs gets put in the autostart
folder so when I reboot I get errors saying that win can't open the files. Annoying.

Why do you put the exe... shouldn't a shortcut be enough?

Nope nothing happens at bootup if I put a shortcut in the autostart folder. However if I double click on the shortcut it will start the program after I ok it.

Re: Win 7 and Speedfan
I would try to run the app as a service.
Read this little guide (a bit down) and you will find how to do.
