Auto start Dashboards on start up within Snapshot

Start Snapshot automatically on boot up with pre-determined Dashboard

In order to launch a Snapshot Dashboard at start up, there's a few command line parameters you can add when launching Snapshot.exe.

(NOTE: IF your Dashboard has parameters that you need to enter in before your Dashboard runs, this is not an ideal solution as the Dashboard will sit at the parameter window waiting for input.)

The three command line parameters are as follows:

/AUTOLOGIN:YES

This will auto login to Snapshot using the saved user/pass.

/DASHBOARDID:123

This needs to run using the Dashboard ID from the database. (We may change how this gets run in the future, as its not feasible to get the ID from the database for end users. Or possibly we may provide an easier way to get the ID.)

/AUTOREFRESH:5

This sets the Dashboard to auto refresh every 5 minutes.

One or all of those parameters can be used.
