Add python script at startup

I'd like the python script to run at every startup. Any ideas?

To help people answer, what operating system? Also include version because startup methods can vary even in a single OS line.

you can create a batch file that launches your python script and use task scheduler to run the a.m. batch file at start up or login. the first thing i found about getting to task scheduler https://www.isunshare.com/windows-8/open-windows-8-8.1-task-scheduler.html

more details as it is actually very simple: following content (adapted to your needs) should go in the batch file (f.e. myPyScript.bat) c:\thePathToYour\python.exe c:\yourScript.py %* you can schedule myPyScript.bat to be executed according to your needs with task scheduler. see the link for more details: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-schedule-batch-file-run-automatically-windows-7 in that way you can select to run it with the highest priviledges avoiding that the script asks for administrator rights every time if that is thr case.

@Jan Markus. They is. I tried to found a way to put the python script in it with some code. The only way I may have found is with a batch. @seamiki. I'm not sure that could help me. I also didn't understand all of it so I'm maybe wrong. The batch file is a good idea. It's for a keylog.
