Windows 启动文件夹^{(Windows Startup Folder)}是一个重要的文件夹，在过去的 Windows 版本中可以通过“开始”菜单^(Windows)轻松找到它。^{(Start Menu)}它早在Windows 95就开始了，位于启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}中的任何程序都会在计算机开机时启动并运行。

过去，每当您启动 Windows 操作系统的计算机时，它都会查找并执行一个名为autoexec.bat 的批处理脚本。^{(autoexec.bat.)}任何了解Power DOS的人都可以使用文本编辑器来修改此脚本，以便添加他们喜欢的程序以启动，以及Windows操作系统。这样一来，一旦计算机启动，您想要使用的所有内容都已加载。

autoexec.bat 的使用一直持续到Windows NT年代，但微软^(Microsoft)打算让用户远离脚本化的命令行环境。相反，它希望鼓励在窗口、文件和文件夹中使用图形界面模型，并且这样做，使其操作系统的所有后续版本都不需要 autoexec.bat。 

他们最终会完全取消它，但是，今天仍然可以找到Windows 10 启动文件夹。^{(Startup Folder)}

如何访问Windows 10 启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}

早在Windows 95之前，批处理脚本和命令行界面对于让您的计算机执行任何操作都是必不可少的。您今天认为理所当然的所有可点击图标都不存在。相反，要运行Microsoft Word之类的东西，它需要您打开命令行解释器并键入winword.exe。

Windows 95 虽然仍然允许用户使用命令行执行几乎所有重要任务，但通过图形用户界面执行此类操作更容易。您可以单击Program Files 文件^{(Program Files)}夹并找到标有您要运行的程序的图标。所需要的只是快速双击，程序就启动了。 

Windows 95 是改变我们访问程序方式的第一步。今天，点击一个程序来启动它是司空见惯的。感觉好像一直都是这样。几乎没有人使用命令来打开程序了。然而，有趣的是，对于Windows 10，我们实际上已经看到通过使用PowerShell恢复命令行访问的小幅增长。

开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}中的启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}

开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}最初是在Windows 95中创建的，与我们今天在Windows 10中的开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}有点相似。当您单击桌面左下角的“开始^(Start)”或“ Windows ”图标时，会弹出一个小弹出菜单。^(Windows)在Windows 95中，您可以在此处找到启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}。

当 Windows 8 推出时，微软^(Microsoft)决定取消开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}。尽管所有功能仍然存在于操作系统中，但要找到所有内容要困难得多。微软^(Microsoft)希望用户采用不同的方式来安排程序以自动执行。 

令微软感到沮丧的是，来自用户^(user)社区的抵制是如此之大，以至于开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}被悄悄地带回了Windows 10。

Windows 10 启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}类似于Windows 7中的文件夹。但是，它不再以相同的方式访问。Windows 10 启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}不再像以前那样在“开始”菜单中弹出。^{(Start Menu)}尽管一些操作细节发生了变化，但功能仍然存在。现在，访问Windows 10 启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}需要一些导航。

两个 Windows 10 启动文件夹

当涉及到Windows 10 启动^(Startup)文件夹时，可以在两个不同的位置找到它。一个Windows 10 启动^(Startup)文件夹在系统级别运行并在所有用户帐户（所有用户^(Users)文件夹）之间共享，而另一个在用户级别运行并且对该用户的帐户是唯一的（当前用户^{(Current User)}文件夹）。

只有在您的 Windows 10 计算机上有多个帐户时，第二个才真正重要。除了通用启动文件夹之外，每个帐户都将包含一个唯一的启动文件^{(Startup Folder)}夹^{(Startup Folder)}。

在进行故障排除时，了解所有用户^{(All Users)}和当前用户启动文件夹^{(Current User Startup Folders)}之间的区别非常重要。试图了解为什么某个应用程序没有打开，或者在使用具有基于用户的许可或访问限制的应用程序时，您需要知道要配置哪个启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}。

有一个区域可让您与Startup功能进行交互，该功能包含文件夹内的所有程序。唯一的区别是不能添加或删除程序。您只能启用或禁用当前位于Startup文件夹中的那些。此位置是Windows 任务管理器^{(Windows Task Manager)}。

访问Windows 10 启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}

有几种方法可以访问Windows 10 启动^(Startup)文件夹。要访问Windows 10 启动^(Startup)文件夹，第一个选项是通过文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}。

您需要启用“显示隐藏文件”选项才能查看路径中的某些文件夹。打开文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}并将以下路径之一拖放到快速访问^{(Quick access)}栏中。

• 所有用户启动文件夹^{(All Users Startup Folder)}位于以下路径：
  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
• 当前用户启动文件夹^{(Current User Startup Folder)}位于此处：
  • C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

从这些位置，您可以添加或删除在启动 Windows 10 计算机时要执行的程序。

另一种方法是使用运行^(Run)命令直接跳转到每个文件夹。

Windows key + R key打开运行^(Run)功能对话框。

• 所有用户启动文件夹^{(All Users Startup Folder)}需要以下路径：
  • Shell：普通启动^{(Shell:common startup)}
• 当前用户启动文件夹^{(Current User Startup Folder)}需要：
  • 外壳：启动^{(Shell:startup)}

这些将直接将您带到包含与指定文件夹有关的启动程序的文件夹。

启用和禁用启动程序^{(Disabling Startup Programs)}

如果您只想启用或禁用Windows 10 启动文件夹中的某些程序，则可以通过^(Startup)Windows 任务管理器^{(Windows Task Manager)}或设置^(Settings)窗口访问此功能。

使用任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}访问启动^(Startup)：

• 右键单击^{(Right-click)}任务栏^(Taskbar)，然后从弹出的菜单中选择任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}。

• 在“任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}”窗口中，单击“启动^(Startup)”选项卡以查看程序。

• 右键单击一个程序。在弹出窗口中，选择启用^(enable)或禁用^(disable)。
  • 该程序现在将遵循您下次启动时设置的状态。

要通过Windows设置访问启动：^(Startup)

• 通过单击桌面左下角的Windows图标打开“开始”菜单。^{(Start Menu)}
• 从菜单中，选择设置^{(Settings )}（齿轮图标）。

• 选择应用程序^(Apps)。
• 在左侧菜单中，选择Startup。

• 在主菜单中，单击要启用或禁用的那些程序的切换开关，以On或Off。

Windows 10启动文件夹^{(Startup Folder)}的启动顺序^(Order)

任何放置在任一启动文件夹^{(Startup Folders)}中的项目都不会像在Windows 95时代那样在登录后立即启动。相反，Windows 10 以非常特定的顺序启动程序，从必要的系统进程和任务管理器的启动^(Startup)选项卡中的任何项目开始。您添加到启动文件夹^{(Startup Folders)}的程序将紧随其后。

这通常不会花费很长时间，但如果您已经配置了许多在启动时启动的第一方和第三方应用程序和服务，则可能需要几分钟，具体取决于您计算机的处理速度。

Windows 10 启动^(Startup)文件夹中的程序过多可能会带来长时间停机的风险，从而在尝试启动每个程序时将您的计算机减慢到无法运行的速度。确保您只将必要的程序放在这些文件夹中并将总数量保持在最低限度是一个好主意。

How to Access the Windows 10 Startup Folder

The Windows Startup Folder was an important folder that was eаsily discoverable via the Start Menu in Windows versions past. It began as far back as Windows 95 and any progrаms locаted within the Startup Folder would boot uр аnd run anytime the computer was powered on.

It used to be that whenever you booted up your Windows operated computer, it would seek out and execute a batch script called autoexec.bat. Anyone with knowledge of Power DOS could use a text editor to modify this script in order to add their favorite programs to boot up, along with the Windows operating system. This made it so that everything you wanted to use was already loaded once the computer booted.

The use of autoexec.bat continued all the way through the Windows NT years, but Microsoft was intent on moving users away from a scripted, command-line environment. It instead wanted to encourage the use of the graphical interface model with windows, files, and folders, and, in doing so, made all subsequent versions of their operating systems not require autoexec.bat. 

They would eventually do away with it entirely, however, the Windows 10 Startup Folder can still be found today.

How to Access the Windows 10 Startup Folder

Back before Windows 95, batch scripts and command-line interfaces were essential in getting your computer to do anything at all. All of the clickable icons you take for granted today didn’t exist. Instead, to run something like Microsoft Word, it required that you opened a command-line interpreter and typed winword.exe.

Windows 95, though it still allowed for users to perform nearly every important task using a command line, such actions were easier through the graphical user interface. You could click on the Program Files folder and find icons labeled with the program you wanted to run. All that was needed was a quick double-click and the program was launched. 

Windows 95 was the first step in changing how we access programs. Today, clicking a program to have it launch is commonplace. It feels as if this is how it has always been. Barely anyone uses commands to open programs anymore. However, interestingly enough with Windows 10, we’ve actually seen a small surge in the revival of command line access via the use of PowerShell.

The Startup Folder In The Start Menu

The Start Menu was first created in Windows 95 and slightly resembles the Start Menu we have today in Windows 10. It’s that little flyout menu that pops out when you click the Start or Windows icon in the lower-left corner of your desktop. In Windows 95, this is where you’d find the Startup Folder.

When Windows 8 was launched, Microsoft decided to eliminate the Start Menu. Even though all of the functionality was still present in the operating system, it was much harder to locate everything. Microsoft wanted users to go a different way with scheduling programs for automatic execution. 

Much to Microsoft’s dismay, the pushback from the user community was so great that the Start Menu was quietly brought back in with Windows 10.

The Windows 10 Startup Folder is similar to the one found in Windows 7. However, it’s no longer accessible the same way. The Windows 10 Startup Folder no longer pops up in the Start Menu as it once did. The functions are still there, although some of the operational details have changed. Now, accessing the Windows 10 Startup Folder takes a bit of navigation.

Two Windows 10 Startup Folders

When it comes to the Windows 10 Startup folder, it can be found in two different locations. One Windows 10 Startup folder operates at the system level and is shared among all user accounts (All Users folder), while the other operates at a user level and is unique to that user’s account (Current User folder).

The second one only really matters if you have multiple accounts on your Windows 10 computer. Each account will contain a unique Startup Folder in addition to the universal Startup Folder.

Understanding the distinction between the All Users and Current User Startup Folders is important when it comes to troubleshooting. Attempting to understand why a certain application isn’t opening, or when working with applications that feature user-based licensing or access restrictions will require you know which Startup Folder to configure.

There is one area that enables you to interact with the Startup function, which contains all of the programs found inside of the folder. The only difference is that programs cannot be added or removed. You can only enable or disable those currently inside of the Startup folder. This location is the Windows Task Manager.

Accessing The Windows 10 Startup Folder

There are a few ways in which to access the Windows 10 Startup folder. To access the Windows 10 Startup folder, the first option is through File Explorer.

You’ll need to enable the “Show Hidden Files” option in order to see certain folders in the path. Open the File Explorer and drop one of the following paths into the Quick access bar.

• The All Users Startup Folder is located at the following path:
  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
• The Current User Startup Folder is located here:
  • C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

From these locations, you can add or remove programs that you want executed whenever you boot up your Windows 10 computer.

An alternative way to do this is to jump directly to each folder with a Run command.

Open the Run function dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R key simultaneously.

• The All Users Startup Folder requires the following path:
  • Shell:common startup
• The Current User Startup Folder requires:
  • Shell:startup

These will take you directly to the folder containing the startup programs pertaining to the specified folder.

Enabling and Disabling Startup Programs

If all you want to do is enable or disable certain programs within the Windows 10 Startup folder, you can access this functionality through both the Windows Task Manager or Settings window.

To access Startup using the Task Manager:

• Right-click the Taskbar and from the menu that pops up, select Task Manager.

• In the Task Manager window, click over to the Startup tab to see the programs.

• Right-click a program. In the pop-up, select either enable or disable.
  • The program will now adhere to the status set on your next boot up.

To access Startup using via Windows Settings:

• Open the Start Menu by clicking the Windows icon in the lower-left portion of your desktop.
• From the menu, select Settings (Cogwheel icon).

• Choose Apps.
• On the left side menu, select Startup.

• In the main menu, click the toggles of those programs you want to enable or disable, to On or Off.

The Launch Order For The Windows 10 Startup Folder

Any item placed in either of the Startup Folders will not launch immediately upon login as it did back in the days of Windows 95. Instead, Windows 10 launches programs in a very specific order beginning with necessary system processes and any items in the Task Manager’s Startup tab. The programs you’ve added to the Startup Folders will follow after.

This usually doesn’t take long, but if you have lots of first- and third-party applications and services already configured to launch at boot, it could take a few minutes depending on the processing speed of your computer.

Too many programs in the Windows 10 Startup folder may run the risk of extensive downtime, slowing your computer to unworkable speeds while it attempts to launch each program. It’s a good idea to ensure that you only place necessary programs in these folders and keep the overall count to a minimum.
