ISSUE SOLVED

TLDR; VRCX only starts files with the `lnk` extention. If you use a `url` file like the one steam generates, make sure to go to the source folder and create a shortcut for it. Same goes for any other scripts that you want to run upon starting vrchat.

Describe the bug
When using the App Launcher Auto-Launch Folder and turning on the auto launching of apps when starting VRChat, VRCX does not auto start any of the applications in the folder.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Put a program / link to a program of your choice into the autostart folder which can be found under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\VRCX\startup or by clicking "Auto-Launch Folder" in your settings menu.
Toggle on "Enable"
Start VRChat

Expected behavior
VRCX should start the applications listed in the folder upon starting vrchat.
