-### Creating Cron Job
+Create a cron job to run the script on every boot.
 
 Edit cron with `crontab -e`.
 
 Add the script at the bottom of the cron list as `@reboot python3 /path/to/script/monitor.py &`.
 
+### Windows Autostart
+
+`Windows/monitor.bat` and `Windows/monitor.vbs` scripts are included.
+
+`monitor.bat` will call python to launch `monitor.py`.
+
+`monitor.vbs` silently calls `monitor.bat` to run in the background.
+
+To create an autostart for Windows open the startup folder with keyboard `Windows + R`, enter `shell:startup` and create a shortcut here to `monitor.vbs`. 
+
+This will run the script in the background on every boot.
