There are several ways to get an application to run at startup. One option
is to place a shortcut to the exe in the Startup folder, the location of
which varies depending on which version of Windows and whether you want it
to start for the current user or all users. You can also place the path to
the exe in the registry at either
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, again
depending on whether you want your program to run automatically at startup
for the current user or for all users.
