Here I will explain how to start utorrent with windows in Boss key mode as this feature is not an inbuilt one in the settings:
· Open uTorrent > preferences > other > boss key and assign a boss key in the textbox.
· Open uTorrent > options > preferences > general and make sure uTorrent is NOT set to run on startup.
· Close uTorrent
· Create a shortcut for uTorrent (anywhere)
· Open the shortcut properties
· At the end of the ‘Target’ location enter ‘/hide’
· Now drag or cut or copy the shortcut into Start>All Programs > Startup
· Log off and log on the user
· uTorrent should now be running on Boss Key mode
· Try the Boss Key and check if it works
· You are done!
Troubleshoot: Not running? An antivirus or anti spyware program may have locked the startup section, you should allow permission for the uTorrent shortcut to run on startup.

there needs to be a space after ‘exe’ before ‘/hide’:
C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe[space]/hide
