Program Startup   
Show Editor on Startup
This instructs the ShortKeys window to display when the program starts up. Otherwise the program starts in a hidden mode or with an icon in the notification area, depending on the activation method selected.
 

Windows Startup
Run when Windows starts up
Selecting this option places a shortcut in the Windows Startup folder so that ShortKeys starts every time Windows starts.
 
Turning off this option removes the ShortKeys shortcut from the Windows Startup folder. In this case ShortKeys must be started manually, which is typically done by clicking on Start > Programs and then the folder where the ShortKeys shortcut was placed.
 

Wait for ____ seconds before initializing the program

On some computers, Windows is not completely ready for ShortKeys when it tries to load the program. This may be caused by other programs that are loaded when Windows starts.

This option instructs ShortKeys to wait the number of seconds specified to ensure Windows is fully loaded. Most computers will not need this delay. If necessary, experiment with the amount of time to find an optimal wait.

 

üNote: The Windows Startup options are unavailable in Windows Vista or later unless running the program as Administrator. To run the program as Administrator, follow the steps below. The steps may vary slightly by operating system.
1. Close ShortKeys - File > Terminate ShortKeys.
2. From the windows Start menu right click on the ShortKeys shortcut.
3. Left click on Run as Administrator from the menu that opens.
4. Follow the prompts to start the program.
5. Make the changes in the Startup preferences and save the change.
