**Running automatically on login:**

1. Open `Task Scheduler`.

2. Press `Create Task`.

3. Name the task `bootnext` (or whatever you want to call it).

4. Check `Run only when user is logged on`, and choose your user.

5. Check `Run with highest privileges`.

6. Under `Triggers`, press `New...`, choose `At log on`, then tick `Specific user` and choose your user.

7. Under `Actions`, add `bootnext.exe` (or whatever you downloaded/built it as).

8. Under `Conditions` untick `Start the task only when the computer is on AC power`.

9. Under `Settings`, untick `Stop the task if it runs longer than:`.

Alternatively, you can create the task automatically by running `bootnext /install` from a command prompt as an administrator. To remove it, run `bootnext /uninstall`.

The MSI installer will create the scheduled task automatically.
