Run on Windows startup

If you want to start the Mezzmo application when you start your computer, then select this checkbox.

Tip: This does not run your Mezzmo server at Windows startup. Go to the Media Server Settings dialog to do this.

Tip: The Mezzmo (Windows) application does not need to be running to stream files to your devices. It is only used to manage your Mezzmo library of files and start / stop your Mezzmo server. Mezzmo server is a separate application that streams your files to your web browsers and devices.
