Short answer: yes.

It’s hidden by default but it should be there in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp for “all users” and %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup separately for each user.

XP-7 had this right with a folder in the start menu for startup items, just drag a file or shortcut there and it runs on startup.

It’s the same in 10. This is actually one thing I find obnoxious in Linux, even as a user for 25+ years… menu “shortcuts” aka .desktop files are harder to make and poorly documented.

Also a testament to how much of a benefit it is when the vendors just get out of the way and don’t feel the need to add their own Special Sauce^TM to the drivers.

Depends. Do you have more money than Disney? If so, the odds are in your favor.

I get why they did it ( because it’s “printers and other devices”) but seriously would it be that hard to link it in both places? Or actually make a printer settings that works worth a shit so you don’t need the control panel app?

I mean feel free to count search results if you care to assess exactly how common it is. Regardless, writing this phrase is not “insanity”

So it sounds like you’re just not familiar with the phrase. It might not be “accepted and used” in your area, and I agree it’s confusing. But it is common, regardless.

Many examples can be found in your choice of search engine, here’s one result but it’s very very common.

As Schwanz’s granddaughter approached Lemmon’s casket, she shook her head yes and said, “That’s her,” referring to her great-grandmother, Rummerfield.

Sound is in there too. The one that annoys me is the printer settings being under “Bluetooth” instead of “printers”.

It’s not great phrasing I agree… but it is a common way to describe it.

It’s the action that matters not the description.

If “she” (not clear who) moved her head back and forth in a vertical rotation, it doesn’t matter if you call it “shook her head yes” or “nodded”. The meaning is the same.

If she moved her head back and forth in a horizontal rotation and this person interpreted that as a “yes”, then that is insanity.

Some people use that phrase to mean “nod”. It’s the same action just a different direction.

Not as much of a portion as is needed for a freeway.

A BIOS does not inherently have to have a configuration utility.

This right here.

My first PC (a 386 circa 1989) did not have a built-in config utility. It had a bootable floppy disk that could configure the BIOS settings. I think all it could change was the system time and the CHS values of the hard drive(s).

I’m fairly certain that the last two books will be published

Hahahahahaha…

*gasp*

Hahahahahahahahaha

At least when they go they take others with them.

But we reply with the same anger if someone has an opinion different from ours.

Hey fuck you! That’s total bullshit and you know it!!

It’s the same thing. Click bottom left corner, start typin. best workflow.

Isn’t that what start menu icons do already?

… wait, no.

Hmm, it sounds like he actually bought them.
