On a previous post, that is now locked, I had asked how to have Apache and Mysql startup on Windows start, on my XAMPP 1.7.7. After discovering that control panel 3.0.2 was installed on 1.7.7 (I was using 2.5 control panel), I found the new control panel had settings to auto start Apache and Mysql.
However, these only start with the startup of the control panel, which is still not auto starting with Windows startup. Is there a preferred way to auto start the control panel, which I assume would then auto start Apache and Mysql?
Do I just copy the control panel to Windows Start folder, or again, is there a preferred way other than this?
