Make Pageant autoload keys at startup
Prerequisites:
- Install PuTTY by following the steps found here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html.
- Generate your SSH private/public key pair
- Convert the SSH private key to ppk format using puttygen.exe, file located in the same folder where you have installed PuTTY
To make Pageant automatically run and load keys at startup:
- Find the location of pageant.exe
- Windows key + R to open the 'run' dialog box
- Type: 'shell:startup' in the dialog box
- Create a shortcut to the pageant.exe and put into this startup folder.
