title: how to Start python shell program on windows 7 startup?
body: <p>I have made a program that takes infrared values serially, transmits them them to another program(the one im having trouble with), and uses the win32 python api to react to a matched value. It all works, but I need this program to run on the startup of my computer.</p>
  
  <p>It uses the IDLE python shell to run, and I need to open/run the file directly from that program. Is there any way to do this? I can't just put a shortcut into the startup directory because its an unrecognized file, and it needs to be run, not just opened. Any help would be great, thanks!</p>
