You can choose to run Xerver as a hidden process when you start your computer. This can be good if you want run Xerver as a server or if you just want Xerver to always be running, but you don't want see the Xerver window.

If you want to auto start Xerver Web Server as a background process at Windows startup:

1. Copy XerverMinimumResources.exe from the folder otherStartupFiles to the Xerver directory (where xerver.jar is located).
2. Create a shortcut to XerverMinimumResources.exe. The shortcut should be located in the startup folder. The startup folder is (depending on what version of Windows you use) located at
   Start > Programs > Startup
   or
   Start > Programs > Autostart.

   Start > Programs > Startup
   or
