AutoStart WAMP when windows start(apache and mysql)

Auto starting Mysql and Apache when windows starts gives you a desktop application feel built on PHP.

The Instructions:
Easiest way is to move 'start wampserver' from the start>program menu>wampserver and drag it into your start>program menu>startup folder. However if windows ask for permission to start the program the option below will fit your needs better

Go start>run> type in 'services.msc' and press enter

scroll down to the two services

wampapache
wampmysql

right click them and select properties.

on the general tab change startup from manual to automatic.

WARNING: Doing this method will not show the wamp icon at the bottom right hand conner of screen

in order to adjust Apache and Mysql settings start wamp and the icon will then appear

  1. Use Task Scheduler in windows as described here http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,61302,76894 instead
