+We'll be using [DiscordChatExporter Cli](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/releases/latest) for this Guide.
+#
+
+**1.** Open a text editor such as Notepad and paste:
+```
+# Info: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki
+
+$TOKEN = "<token>"
+$TOKENTYPE = "<BOT/USER>"
+$CHANNEL = "<channel>"
+$EXEPATH = "<exe>"
+$FILENAME = "<name>"
+$EXPORTDIRECTORY = "<dir>"
+$EXPORTFORMAT = "<format>"
+# Available export formats: PlainText, HtmlDark, HtmlLight, Csv
+
+cd $EXEPATH
+
+If($TOKENTYPE -match "BOT"){$ISBOTYES = "-b"}
+Else{$ISBOTYES = ""}
+.\DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe export -t $TOKEN $ISBOTYES -c $CHANNEL -f $EXPORTFORMAT -o exporttmp
+
+$Date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MMM-dd HH-mm"
+
+If($EXPORTFORMAT -match "PlainText"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.txt"}
+ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlDark"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
+ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlLight"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
+ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "Csv"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.csv"}
+exit
+```
+
+**2.** Replace:
+
+ `<token>` with your [Token](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs)
+
+ `<BOT/USER>` If the Token is from a bot replace it with `BOT`, if it's from a user, `USER`
+
+ `<channel>` with a [Channel ID](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs)
+
+ `<exe>` with the .exe directory path (e.g. C:\Users\User\Desktop\DiscordChatExporter) 
+
+ `<name>` with a filename without spaces
+
+ `<dir>` with the export directory (e.g. C:\Users\User\Documents\Exports) 
+
+ `<format>` with one of the available export formats
+
+ Make sure not do delete the quotes (")
+
+**3.** Save the file as `filename.ps1` not `.txt`
+
+
+## Export at Startup
+
+**1.** Press Windows + R, type `shell:startup` and press ENTER
+
+**2.** Paste `filename.ps1` or a shortcut to this folder
+
+
+## Scheduling with Task Manager
+
+Please notice your computer must be turned on so the exportation can occur.
+
+**1.** Press Windows + R, type `taskschd.msc` and press ENTER
+
+**2.** Select `Task Scheduler Library`, create a Basic Task and follow the instructions on-screen
