I often deal with several different files in several different programs on a regular basis. It takes up a lot of my time and effort to start these programs every time i start my PC.
But not anymore. Because i have found a quick and easy way to automatically run these programs as soon as i start my PC. I do this using the Notezilla sticky notes app on my Windows PC.
You must be thinking how can a sticky notes app do this? And why this app when you have other apps to do this, like the Windows Task Scheduler which is free and inbuilt in your system.
