// or `import * as StartupManager from 'startup-manager';` for ESM users

You can use the following functions with this library, more usage info available in the parameters section

const StartupManager = require('startup-manager');
// or `import * as StartupManager from 'startup-manager';` for ESM users

// Creates the startup key
console.log(StartupManager.Create('SomeAppName', 'C:\\Path\\To\\App\\app.exe', ['--SomeArgument']));

// Returns the status as an object
console.log(StartupManager.Status('SomeAppName'));

// Disables the startup key
console.log(StartupManager.Disable('SomeAppName'));

// Should return { exists: true, status: 'DISABLED' }
console.log(StartupManager.Status('SomeAppName'));

// Enables the startup key
console.log(StartupManager.Enable('SomeAppName'));

// Should return { exists: true, status: 'ENABLED' }
console.log(StartupManager.Status('SomeAppName'));
