Hello,  
I installed node-red on my computer.

How can I turn on the UI layer automatically when the computer boots up.

Do you mean the editor?  
What device are you running it on?

In Google Chrome settings, set On Startup to "Open a specific page or set of pages" and choose the url in your screenshot then import this flow into node red with the built in import menu paste this in:

```auto
[{"id":"1fbbae3940c28fee","type":"tab","label":"Flow 2","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"9a2b4e5f8fab8f2f","type":"exec","z":"1fbbae3940c28fee","command":"\"C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\"","addpay":"","append":"","useSpawn":"false","timer":"100","winHide":true,"oldrc":false,"name":"","x":700,"y":240,"wires":[["160655812cc6c29e"],["f97136487fb932e5"],["778dce0c0282dddb"]]},{"id":"0c2a47462fe1c0f2","type":"inject","z":"1fbbae3940c28fee","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":true,"onceDelay":"15","topic":"","payloadType":"str","x":390,"y":240,"wires":[["9a2b4e5f8fab8f2f"]]},{"id":"160655812cc6c29e","type":"debug","z":"1fbbae3940c28fee","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":1030,"y":200,"wires":[]},{"id":"f97136487fb932e5","type":"debug","z":"1fbbae3940c28fee","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":1030,"y":240,"wires":[]},{"id":"778dce0c0282dddb","type":"debug","z":"1fbbae3940c28fee","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":1030,"y":280,"wires":[]}]

```

if you have node-red set to start automatically then 15 seconds after it starts it should open the Dashboard UI.
