Hi, why would you want to use start with Windows with the portable version?
Also, I've just run a test in a virtual machine using Windows 8.1 and SyncBackFree V6.5.48.0 (portable one, dumped into a folder on the local drive) and it works fine. It starts with Windows and starts minimized.
To start it minimized, and on login, simply go to Preferences->Options and select "Start with Windows". I'm not sure why you're creating a shortcut as that won't work and there's no need to.
