Start Episode Butler as Windows 7 service?
Posted: March 20th, 2010, 10:34 pm
Has anyone been able to get Episode Butler set up to autostart on Windows 7 Bootup without disabling UAC?
Hey Eejit, you mind posting the steps on how you accomplished this? You were able to do this without disabling or altering UAC?Eejit wrote: Yes.
I have it start via Task Scheduler, triggered on user log-on and when a network is detected.
Not as a service, but it work's for me
