    All: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup


    Default Registry Keys:

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Startup"="C:\\Users\\YOURNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup"
    Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
