Putting settings in a settings menu is non-standard? It takes two seconds to click the menu and check.

  The thing that is non-standard is the fact that it's a setting at all. It's not up to the application to decide when it should start, it's up to the system. And it should most definitely not override the settings of the system.

    This is the sort of thing that's typical since time immemorial of software running on an OS that isn't its "preferred" choice.

  > Putting settings in a settings menu is non-standard? It's completely irrelevant if a setting is made available through a menu or a text file or a registry entry,and it's disingenuous to miss the point like that. The point is that picking which application is launched at startup is a basic feature offered by any operating system, and thus it is a feature with clearly defined and common and standard and discoverable and trustable interfaces. If you intentionally avoid all that and stop users from using standard functionalities to handle standard usecases and instead force-feed them custom hacks and tricks like this, you are creating a series of problems where there was none to begin with.
