* Create a scheduled task (you can import [this XML file](VanguardControlAtStartup.xml), adapt settings and paths to your setup)

  * Trigger: run at user logon

  * Permissions: System/Admin

  * Actions: run `powershell C:\Path\To\vanguard-control.ps1 -Mode AfterStartup`

* Create a desktop shortcut to powershell and check "Run as Administrator". Edit the shortcut so that it has this command:
