I can't test if this script does what the OP asked for. Where should the
AutoStart folder be placed when using a Windows OS or in a Linux OS?

Would it be possible to take this effort further and evolve this script into
an extension with a point-and-click interface to select the Autostart
folder?

Maybe some other people would find this feature useful and it is probably
more likely that this can be added as an extension rather than as a new
feature...

Just my 2 cents
