Creating shortcut in startup folder using Inno setup

Question

I'm developing a java application that i want to run on startup. I used launch4j to create .exe file and Inno setup to generate installer. Is there any way to create a shortcut in the startup folder using Inno setup ??

In [Icons] section you can use constants {userstartup} or {commonstartup}.

For example:

[Icons]
Name: "{userstartup}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\MyProg.exe"; WorkingDir: "{app}"

The "start up" folder is deprecated, use registry `Run` entry instead. See [Start application with parameters on windows start](http://stackoverflow.com/q/15123421/850848). – Martin Prikryl Aug 28 '16 at 07:52
Is it missing a quote after MyProg.exe or no? – Mark Deven Dec 11 '17 at 12:23
@Mark Dodsons yes there was. Just recently provided an edit. – AndyUK Oct 01 '18 at 14:51
