 I created a new user account on a Windows 7 system with AMM 8.2.2 installed.

Is there a configuration option somewhere that I turn on autostart for AMM on a per account basis?

 Thank you for your post, sysfu!

Run at startup is a per-account option. You can turn it on in Actual Multiple Monitors -> Options -> General while logged on a desired account.

Best regards!

 In case you meant "on a system-wide basis" instead of "per-account" that is also possible, by using the AFL 2 parameter for your Actual Window Manager startup entry in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key.

I don't remember if settings carry over automatically to the new location; to be sure you can back them up before you make the change and then restore if they don't show up after

 Thanks for pointing out the location of the autostart option, for some reason I was unable to locate that on my own.

To solve this problem on Windows 7 I ended up copying the per user autorun registry key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Cu­rrentVersion\Run
