Enable nView Desktop Manager on startup

I have nView Desktop Manager 146.33 installed on my computer, and I use it to manage windows across my screens. However, I have to manually open and enable it every time my computer is booted. Is there a way to automatically enable nView on startup?

Just put a shortcut of the needed executable file or files in the following path:

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

What executable is that? I don't see any exe files in the nView directory. – SherylHohman – 2020-02-03T21:15:54.837

On my system, nView was located at C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nview\nvwdmcpl.dll", nViewMain

I found this by:

finding nView Desktop Manager link in my start menu.
right-clicking -> Properties
copy the information from Target
I notice that Start in has "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nview"

You make the nView executable into a service.

To do this you need to open powershell and run: sc create nService binPath= "c:/program files/etc"

Then head into services.msc and set it to 'automatic'.

1Which executable should I use? As far as I can tell I can only access nView through the right-click menu on the desktop. C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nview contains 3 .exe files: nwiz, nvAppBar, and nvTaskbar. None of those opens the same app I see when I right-click the desktop and select nView Desktop Manager. – Ryan – 2015-08-27T16:42:40.980
