Windows 10 Startup folder location

Windows 10 has many startup folders, one for all user and each user has a separate startup folder. If you do not share the computer for anyone else then you can add to Startup folder of All User or add to Startup folder of your personal folder (it will work the same). But if you share you computer with other users, you should only add to your “personal Startup folder“.

– Add programs to your personal Startup folder : These programs will automatically launch only when you login the computer

– Add programs to the Startup folder  of All User: These programs will automatically launch when any users login the computer.

To access to the Startup folder in Windows 10, you can follow one of two below ways:

1. Use Run command:

– Open Run dialog by press combined keys: Windows + R (Find more shortcut in Windows 10 here)
– Type or paste the below command then press Enter.

For you only: shell:startup

For All User: shell:Common Startup

2. Use Windows Explorer

Another alternative way to open Startup folder in Windows 10 is to paste this path into the Address Bar:

For All User: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Exceeds the upload max file size

By default, the limit of max file size for uploading in Wordpress is 2MB (WordPress version 3.7.1). It is quite small in some cases (most videos, archives and high-quality images are much bigger than 2MB). And in those case, you will get the error “he uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini” . And here are how to fix the error.

How to fix error exceeds the upload max file size in WordPress

Depend on how you can control the WordPress source code and what you are more familiar with, you can choose one of three below methods. In most cases, I suggest you choose method 1 – Increase the max upload file size by changing the setting on PHP.INI, because it will affect all your websites that hosting on the same server.

Note: Make sure to backup carefully before you change anything!

Method 1: Increase the max upload file size by PHP.INI

This is the most effective and common method to fix the error exceeds the upload max file size in WordPress.

Requirement: You have access to the file PHP.INI (usually locate on /etc/php.ini). If you host your websites on a VPS or dedicated server, you should have the access, but if you host your websites on a shared hosting, you will not have the access! => In this case you have to use method 2 or method 3.

Follow below steps:
1. Open PHP.INI file (via a FTP client such as Filezilla, CuteFTP…)

2. Find the keys:

memory_limit 16M
post_max_size 2M
upload_max_filesize 2M
max_execution_time 100

Then change to:

memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 256M
upload_max_filesize 256M
max_execution_time 600

3. Save the php.ini file and upload it back.

4. Reset your server (or reset HTTPD service)

Done!

Notes: You can change 256M with your desired max file size

And now, you can enjoy uploading your big files to websites

Method 2: Increase the max upload file size by .HTACCESS

This is the easier way to fix the problem and mostly used if your websites host on a shared hosting. All you have to do is to add or overwrite those configurations into your .HTACCESS file (.HTACCESS file is located on root folder of each website):

#Change upload limits

php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 256M
php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value max_execution_time 600

#Change upload limits end

Notes: You can change 256M with your desired max file size

Method 3: Increase the max upload file size by FUNCTIONS.PHP

– Open the file Functions.php  located on your current WordPress Themes (/wp-content/themes/…)

– Add below code into the file:

@ini_set( ‘upload_max_size’ , ‘256M’ );
@ini_set( ‘post_max_size’, ‘256M’);
@ini_set( ‘max_execution_time’, ‘600’ );

Enjoy!
