Feature Request: Automatically Start with Windows

[ravensorb]

It would be great if there was an option to enable auto start with windows (or at least with user login)

If I understand correctly, that is not possible or necessary.

Windows references the hosts file as needed. This is just an editor for that file. The only time this program needs to run is when you are actively editing the hosts file. After you save changes, Windows will use the updated file. It is sometimes necessary to flush your DNS for the changes to be effective.

Via the Command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns

If you want the editor to launch on Windows startup, you can just put a shortcut to it in the Windows Startup folder.
