 =====Sendto Startup=====
 Add the ability to add a program to the Startup folder using the SendTo context menu.
-Save the following code somewhere:
+====Setup====
-<code powershell Startup.ps1>
+  * Navigate to ''%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo''
-param([System.IO.FileInfo]$Path)
+  * Save [[https://github.com/Archer4499/Configs/raw/master/Windows/Apps/Scripts/Startup.ps1|Startup.ps1]] here
-$Name = Split-Path -Path $Path -leaf
+  * Right-Click > ''New'' > ''Shortcut'':
-$Shell = New-Object -ComObject ("WScript.Shell")
+    * ''Location of the item'' > ''%WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\Startup.ps1''
-$ShortCut = $Shell.CreateShortcut($env:APPDATA + "\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\$Name.lnk")
+    * ''Name'' > ''Startup''
-$ShortCut.TargetPath = $Path
+  * Right-Click the shortcut > ''Properties'' > ''Run'' > ''Minimised''
-$ShortCut.Save()
-</code>
-Then create a shortcut in: ''%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo'' with the target set to ''%windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "C:\path\to\Startup.ps1"'' and set the icon to what you want.
-Note: Can save the ''Startup.ps1'' file to the SendTo folder if desired, because it doesn't show up in the list itself.
