[Privoxy-users] Privoxy and Windows 8.1

I'm having a very difficult time getting Privoxy to be started at windows boot.  It's Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit on a ThinkPad 
T540p, 16GB of RAM.  Everything boots fine and all the startup programs invoke correctly except Privoxy.  I'm 
trying to load 3.0.32 (several times) but also dropped back once to 3.0.28 to confirm it's not a version problem.  

I can invoke Privoxy from a shortcut but not the Startup menu.  I have run a log which comes up clean from the 
shortcut but is not created at boot time so it appears that windows isn't even trying to start it.  Privoxy was installed 
using the startup option and everything has admin privileges.  

Task Manger's Startup tab shows Privoxy with status "Enabled" and Startup Impact as "Not measured"  

Any help getting Privoxy enabled at boot time would be greatly apreciated!

Thanks!
