Recently installed the Win8 RTM on my MacBook air and made a short AutoHotkey script to reverse the scrolling to be like MacOSX Lion.

My question is... how do you run a script at startup on Windows 8, since the startup folder has been removed?

The Startup folder still exists.

In order to quickly navigate to Startup folder, open Windows Explorer and input the following path in address bar with your user profile folder name, and then press Enter.

C:\Users\<User Profile folder name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

My Google search phrase was "windows 8 startup folder" for reference. This was the first link. – Randolph West Aug 18 '12 at 8:49
