Start uTorrent with windows in boss-key mode

Author: luq | Filed under software, tips, tutorials

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
