Hi i am trying to create a script that can add other scripts in startup.
'shell:startup' opens place to put the shortcut for startup programs, if i can somehow take its output in a variable, then i don't have to worry about taking different startup folder path for different versions of windows

The current user's start-up folder (where shell:startup leads you) can be located with variables as such:
Batch:
"%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
Example of putting the whole thing into a variable and using it:
set userStartup="%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
echo %userStartup%
PowerShell:
"$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
Example:
$userStartup = "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
write-output $userStartup

@MichaelEvanchik For now windows, but we need to support all major platforms-linux,windows,mac. A .bat script will be very good, i think i can translate it to python code – Mukul Sharma – 2018-03-02T06:07:23.480
