How do I schedule qbittorrent to launch automatically at boot up?

Post by Trepper »

I have looked through all the settings of v2.9.7 but can't see how to schedule it to launch automatically at startup. Any help appreciated

Great tool by the way.

Add an entry to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (single user)

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (for all users)

Copy the path from the desktop icon or the Start menu entry and paste in as  a "New String Value"

Or type shell:startup into a Windows Explorer address bar and create a shortcut to qBitTorrent in that folder

You will need to give qbt elevated permissions ('Set Run as Administrator' in Properties -> Compatibility

You didn't mention the flavour of Linux you're using :)

In Ubuntu and it's variants, you can add a program or script to the startup via settings> system settings> startup and shutdown.

Ah! Boll... 

This is the Linux section, that's what you I get for just clicking on "Unread"

I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS which as you may know has the XFCE default environment.

Thanks for the replies people. Can't see settings > system settings > startup and shutdown.

There is Settings with its sub-menu and System with its own separate sub-menu. Neither has a start up and shut down option.

I've personally never used xfce, but a little googling came up with the following site :)
