If you must start something when the driverstation launches. One of the things that loads automatically with the driverstation is the dashboard.exe

which is located in c:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard\dashboard.exe

You can replace that .exe with any exe and it will lauch when the driverstation is launched and default dashboard is selected.

If you use the dashboard and would like that to lauch as well... you can rename the real dashboard exe to something else, and create a script named dashboad.exe which runs your script and launches the dashboard as well.

You will need to take care of closing your program somehow on your own.

However, any reason why you just don't delete the DriverStation account and use one account for everything? (In which case the above Windows 7 method posted should work.)

FRC no longer locks you into a particular account on the driverstation.

Hope this helps,
