Developing a kiosk application in Windows OS. When the machine boots up 3 things have to happen in sequence

  1. a node.js server launches
  2. the browser containing the web app launches in kiosk mode
  3. another client application launches

Is there a utlility that easilly accomplishes this, or is there an easy way to do this in the command-line? I'm guessing some type of BSCH script could also be use but I'm not a BSCH expert.

You could write a script in any language you want to automate this (even using nodejs) and then just install a shortcut to that script in the user's %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder.

  • Won't this start the application or execute the script when the user logs in? I think the question is looking for a method where the application or scrip are started when the computer starts, no user log in requiered. – Aaron C Jul 11 '16 at 20:04

On Windows 10, the folder is %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
