KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

After a failed attempt to operate my remote KPA500 using a STARTECH serial
server I have reverted back to a PC at the site. To streamline operations I
want the KPA remote software to start up when the PC is remotely booted.
Right clicking and selecting Pin to Start does not work. It does not appear
in the list of STARTUP programs. KAT500 works Ok in STARTUP but not the
KPA500.

Does anyone know why?...or is there something else I need to do. The PC
runs Win 7

Frank -

I have both the KPA and KAT500 utilities set to do this, along with my
browser (Chrome) set to QRZ.com on one of my Win 7 systems. It works
perfectly.

How To Start a Windows 7 Program Automatically (quoted from "dummies")

1 Click Start→All Programs. ...
2 Right-click the Startup folder and click Open. ...
3 Right-click Start and choose Open Windows Explorer. ...
4 Locate the program you want to start when you start Windows, then drag
into the Startup folder. ...
5 Click the Close button in the upper-right corner of both Explorer windows
to close them.
6 Reboot.

Note: This is not the same as "Pin To Start Menu."

Lyn

Many thanks for your help. That worked perfectly! KAP remote just
started when I rebooted using access via ANYDESK
I appreciate you taking the time to clarify for me. At first I couldn't
find the STARUP folder as it was hidden in AppData which I could not
see . Discovered how to make it visible and went from there. Thanks again!

Re: KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

Frank –

Glad that helped. It’s a useful tool for any apps you always want so you gate get them started quickly without waiting around while the system goes thru its boot gyrations.

I remember having to write batch files in early versions of Windows (and DOS …) to do the same thing. This is much easier to implement and to change when the need arises.

Lyn, W0LEN

PS – We’ve worked a few times on 160m FT8. Lots of interesting stuff on your QRZ page!

Re: KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

In reply to this post by Lyn WØLEN

But when KPA500 Remote or KPA1500 Remote start up, you need to invoke the
Start Hosting Remote function to get them to listen for a remote
connection. It may be possible to automate that, but I don't know how. And
if you could automate it, note that these Remote apps power up the
amplifier as they start up, leaving it running. That's OK if you just
rebooted the server yourself. But if it's auto-booting, for example after
recovery from a power failure, it could leave the amp running for days
before you next sit down at your control site to operate. Maybe you don't
care, but I prefer to leave unattended amps powered down when not in use.
Or am I missing something?

73,
