node-start-on-windows-boot's Issues

Registry change is added to Current User, not Local Machine

In Line 27 of index.js, there is a line:

hive: WinReg.HKCU, //CurrentUser,

Because of this line, node will only start when logged in as the same user. I was initially using node-pm2-windows-startup, but instead had to use a different library since this solution only worked when logging in as the same user that started command.
Local Machine vs Current User should be a flag or Local Machine should be the default, no?
