Add Trello shortcut to autostart folder
Asked by Roman Frantsev:

Hi all! Has anybody figured out how to add the trello shortcut to the autostart folder on Windows 11? Or just simply create a shortcut on the desktop? I have downloaded the app via App Store on Windows and I cant find the location of the file or copy it from the start menu to any other location.

Have you tried this:

It's just in the case of Trello app there is no "open file location" option..


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Yes, that is how I found them, lol :)

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the in as I do not have win 11 yet, sorry.

P.S. As indicated here:

You should be able to invoke Trello from anywhere by using Ctrl + Alt + T

Have you tried this?


author: Roman Frantsev
body: yeah, I know about the shortcut.. but the app needs to be running for it to work. That's the reason I want to put it into autostart..


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: I see.

I also found this method:

Win+I \> Apps \> StartUp \> Toggle startup button.

By the way, does this app appear in the "all apps" list? If it does, you can try to drag-and-drop it on the desktop.


author: Roman Frantsev
body: its not listed in the startup section..

and you cant drag\&drop it from all apps or from start menu.

**1. Right-click on the desktop, select New and choose the Shortcut option.**

**2. Click the browse button.**

**3. Select the file to create a shortcut**

(In this case it'll be the WindowsApps folder for the Trello windows store application. )

Follow the below steps to gain access to the hidden WindowsApps folder if you don't already have access.

**4. Select the Trello exe in the trello folder**

The file path was something like this for me:

"C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\\[REDACTED\].PawsforTrello_2.13.10.0_x64__\[REDACTED\]\\app\\Trello.exe"

**5. Click next and name the shortcut if you like. It will name the shortcut the name of the file / folder by default.**

**6. Click finish**

**7. The Trello desktop app should now be visible in your desktop.**

**8. Open the startup folder by pres** ****sing the Windows logo key + R, type shell:startup, then select OK** .**

**9. Copy the Trello shortcut and paste in the startup folder.**

**10. Test it out and Enjoy!**
