Another way to start your customized Dashboard automatically is doing an Application in the follow directory:

c:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard\

Will be three files inside these directory: An .exe, an .ini and another that I can't remember now. You'll should switch these three files by the files that you will generate.

To generate a New Application you'll should click with a right button on Build Specifications then select Application.

Choose the files that you'll want have associated with your Dashboard so click in Build!
I think (or better, I'm sure) that the way of Greg describes is easier, but this way will be right too!

Hope that can help you with something!

Oh, sure: you'll need keep the same name to the files, that means use at your files the follows names:
Dashboard.exe ;
Dashboard.ini ;
Dashboard.something_that_I_can't_remember_now
