Is there a way to start-up desktop shortcut automatically when Windows starts? (E.g. launch Google Chrome on login)
Additionally, is there a way to make the browser start in full-screen mode? (The same as pressing F11)

simply place a shortcut inside start/all programs/startup.
Chrome can be started from the command line with a flag:
```
%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -start-maximized
```
so you can simply edit the Chrome app shortcut, or create a .bat file and place that line inside, than put either into the folder mentioned above (startup).
