Windows 8 Start Problem

I have installed Cumulus to C:\Cumulus I am having problems getting Cumulus to start when windows starts, I have copied a shortcut to my Windows 8 Startup folder, this for some reason invokes two copies trying to start. So I tried adding it my run folder in my registry, this causes a error that states cannot write to cumulus.ini, this file is not flagged as read-only. I then tried to use windows scheduler to start it, I get the same error. I even tried to run it in windows 7 compatibility mode. I don't know what else to try, but I would like for the program to start up with windows. Thanks KC0WNY.

After more testing, it appears that starting it with Windows Scheduler, by delaying the start time by 30 seconds works, no errors so far. Thanks

there is also a free program called start up delay which works well if you want to run programs on start up may be some help to others.
