== Launching NVDA ==

=== How do I tell NVDA to start automatically when Windows starts? ===
The easiest way for doing this is to copy NVDA into your {{{Startup}}} folder. To do this:
 1. Find the NVDA shortcut in the Start Menu. If you have installed with the default settings, this can be found at {{{Programs}}} or {{{All Programs}}} -> NVDA -> NVDA.
 2. Copy it to the clipboard by pressing the applications key to activate the context menu and then pressing c for copy.
 3. From the Start Menu, navigate to {{{Programs}}} or {{{All Programs}}} -> {{{Startup submenue}}}.
 4. Press the applications key to activate the context menu and then press o for Open.
 5. In the folder/file list, press control+v to paste the shortcut for NVDA that you has just copied to the clipboard.
