Centennial Startup Helper
This program was made as an example to @Jaex for how he could handle the startup task in his Windows Store port of ShareX. ShareX runs on .NET 4 but .NET 4.6 is required to import and use UWP functions. As such, he had to made an helper for it to work.
Usage
To use, simply invoke it like you would with any process and watch the return value.
| Option | Explanation |
|---|---|
| /status [TaskIndex] | Will return the current status of the selected task. |
| /enable [TaskIndex] | Will enable the selected task and return the new status. |
| /disable [TaskIndex] | Will disable the selected task and return the new status. |
TaskIndex is a zero-indexed value selecting the task you want to view/edit. They are ordered in the same order you declared them in your AppxManifest. It defaults to 0 if you ignore the parameter (which should be your one and only startup task anyways).
If the tool is launched with no command line arguments, it behaves same as if running /status 0.
| Return Value | Explanation |
|---|---|
| -1 | An exception was thrown. (Most common mistake is that the process does not have a package identity) |
| 0 | Task is enabled. |
| 1 | Task is disabled. |
| 2 | Task has been disabled by the user in the Task Manager's startup tab. |
