I am trying to run a script to startup some services after windows reboot.

I have tried one method: copying shortcuts of batch script in shell:startup folder. which eventually will start the scripts automatically but someone has to login to the system.

I am thinking about the possible ways to run the script after server restart without logon to the server.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
