Hi,

Cmd.exe looks for the following registry subkeys first:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun\REG_SZ

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun REG_EXPAND_SZ

If either one or both registry subkeys are present, they are executed before
all other variables.

So, you need to add the command (startup) to that registry path. (say,
"cd\windows". It opens with Windows as default path)
