This is my code:

import shutil

original = r'C:\Users\Руслан\Desktop\HACKPROG\IP.PY'
target = r'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp'
shutil.move(original,target)

and I am getting the following Error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

You don't appear to have permissions to write to the Start Up folder.

You can fix this by running your Python terminal as an administrator (right click IDLE/cmd and press run as administrator).

you can run this program in 2 ways

Method 1: Add python to path, By editing environmental variables.

Method 2: Open console/cmd . Direct path to python file by

cd C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\StartUp

And then after entering directory

python ip.py --user
