This script will play the specified MP3 files.

Running Scripts on Startup

To run any of the above scripts on Windows startup:

1. Create a batch file (e.g., startup_play_mp3.bat) in the same directory as your Python script.

2. Open the batch file in a text editor and add the following lines, replacing "path_to_script_directory" with the full path to the directory containing your Python script:

For example, to run mechStart.py, replace script_name.py with mechStart.py.

3. Save the batch file.

4. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type shell:startup, and press Enter. This opens the Startup folder.

5. Move the batch file (startup_play_mp3.bat) into the Startup folder.

Now, when you log in to your Windows account, the batch file will run automatically, executing the associated Python script.

Feel free to customize the scripts and batch files to suit your specific needs.
