The simplest way to accomplish this is to take that one command, paste it
into notepad and then in notepad got to Save As. Make sure to change the
file types to All Programs and then type in MapPrinter.bat, or any name you
like, but end it in .bat.

Once this file is created, just drag and drop it into the Starup folder in
your start menu. When dragging and dropping in the menu, you sometimes need
to pause a little to let it open the menu (For instance, pause on All
Programs until it opens). Once there, the batch file will automatically
find the command prompt and run every time you login.
