How to add QRemote Server on the Current user's startup

Solution 1:

You can add the QRemoteServer in the current user startup via the registry.

Navigate to the below path & right-click on the right pane of Registry Editor & click "New," & select "String Value" to add QRemoteServer in the current user's startup.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Please insert "QRemoteServer" as the name of the String Value.

In the value textbox, insert the path of the QRemoteServer executable file & click "OK."

For 64-bit OS:
C:\Program Files (x86)\QODBC Driver for QuickBooks\QRemote\Server\QRemoteServer.exe

The QRemoteServer is added to the current user's startup.

If you can't find "FLEXquarters.com Limited QODBC" in the Startup program list, please reinstall QODBC. After installation, QODBC "FLEXquarters.com Limited QODBC" will be listed in the Startup program list.

Solution 2:

You can manually add the user's startup folder who will be using the QRemote/QuickBooks.

Please create a QRemote Server shortcut: Start >> All Programs >> QODBC Driver for use with QuickBooks >> Right-click on QRemote Server for QODBC & click on "Send to" and select the "Desktop (create shortcut)" option.

Now, Copy the QRemote Server shortcut from the desktop. Right-click on the QRemote Server shortcut & click "Copy."

Now, Explore the user's startup folder who will be using the QRemote/QuickBooks.

Start >> All Programs >> Right-click on "Startup" & click on "Explore."

Alternative.

Open the run command (Use the Windows + R keyboard shortcut.) and type shell: Startup & click "OK."

The "Startup" folder will get open.

Paste the shortcut file from the desktop & place it in the Startup folder.

Now QRemote Server will start for the selected user on startup (i.e., On System startup, Restart).
