Ummm, I'm a bit confused.

You wrote an addon that runs at startup?

Exactly how do you let the user decide if they want to do this or not? Why would any user want to have an ESO addon running at startup?

Does it stay in memory? If so that is not a good idea, it's actually a terrible idea.

I'll wait for your reply before I say more, but your program is a guest on the users computer. It should be specific to the game, only work to enhance the game for them and should not be have any "auto start" capabilities whatsoever outside of ESO.

The end users of this game puts their trust in the developers because our only goal is to make their gaming experience better. If you wrote something that stays active all the time you are taking up resources (regardless of how small the amount) and you are no longer a guest but an intruder.
