    I would recommend that you read the book The C Programming Language by Kernigham and Ritchie the founders of the C language. It is excellent and can point you in the right direction.

    There are two ways to accomplish this:
    1) simply copy the program (or a shortcut) to your startup directory. On my Vista Home machine it is located here:
    C:\Users\Ancient_Dragon\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    2) Write a Windows Services program. This is quite complicated and requires a firm grasp of C or C++ languages. There are several links that show how to do that.
