# If you have the normal Jessie image with x you have installed the lxde desktop. There the autostart file would be “/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart”. If you are using our pi image, the autostart file would be “/home/pi/.config/openbox/autostart” since we use openbox to reduce memory usage. Open the file with your favorite editor and add the following:
touch /home/pi/.config/openbox/autostart
