I spent a lot of time trying to make this work by reading a lot of posts in this forum. It was not easy. I then found a pretty simple way to make this work.
Run on Startup
In Windows, you enter a shortcut to the RealTimeSync program in the StartUp folder.
1. Find the exe file in C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTineSync.exe.
2. Add RealTimeSync to the startup programs
Windows key and R to open the Run dialog.
Type “shell:startup” and enter. This opens the startup programs in Explorer.
Copy a shortcut from the RealTimeSync program to the startup window.
3. Open the Properties of this shortcut.
4. In the Target window go to the end of the text and add the batch file.
Click in the window and go to the end of the commands. Then add the batch file. It should look like this.
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe" "E:\All important Folders.ffs_batch"
Now when you start windows, RealTimeSync should start in the task bar and run.

You can also put a shortcut that points directly to the ".ffs_real" configuration in the startup folder!

@dpeteual:
Why literally repeat exactly what is described in the manual?
