I've googled, I've searched the board, and I've looked in the setting and config pages, but I can't find anyway for Twonky to launch when I start up my PC, I am using Windows 7, and maybe I ought to be shot, but can anyone help me, and give me the golden tip which I'm clearly missing...!!
Thanks and sorry for my dufus-ness...!!!

1. Make sure you're install it with full administrator rights, not a limited user. You may want to uninstall first and then perform a clean install if asked.
2. Make sure you don't have any antivirus or software firewall software that is blocking it from launching.
Keep in mind on Windows 7, that it won't appear running on the first page of the Task Manager.

Run Twonkymedia from the desktop, or Start menu. An icon for it should then appear in the system tray - it may be hidden so you'll need to press the up arrow by the system tray. Right cllick on the TM icon that is there and select Autostart Server so that it has a tick box next to it.
If no joy then try a re-install as TMM_Product_Manager suggested. Make sure you start the install file by right-clicking it and selecting Run as Administrator to ensure that it installs correctly.
I have had TMS 6.0.1, 6.0.2 and 6.1Alpha running fine on my Win7 64-bit PC and they have all launched OK on startup.
