    You can probably do this by putting this program in your "startup" folder. ("programs"=>"startup")

    Right. Adding to the Start menu's Startup group is the easiest way. Otherwise, you can add an entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run in the registry.
