To automatically start a program on the start up we need to add a registry value. so open run from the start menu and enter regedit the select the 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
then in the string table add a new string value. for that right click and select the string value then in the string data type the path of your program that is to be open at the start up. click ok then restart your computer then that file automatically starts after login

There is a easy way to run your program automatically


first create a desktop.ini file in any directory of a folder then 


in desktop.ini write 


[start]
autorun.exe or X:\autorun.exe


it can be applied in only windows xp and NT

You could create a scheduled task to run your app. But im guessing you want this to happen for users automatically?

well I have always used the answer in Tuntu's reply and found this the best way I have a included a vb example below

Imports Microsoft.Win32


    Private Sub AddCurrentKey(ByVal name As String, ByVal path As String)
        Dim key As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", True)
        key.SetValue(name, path)
    End Sub

    Private Sub RemoveCurrentKey(ByVal name As String)
        Dim key As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", True)
        key.DeleteValue(name, False)
    End Sub

you can then use to add the reg key 

AddCurrentKey(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.FullName, System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.Location)

and to remove it 

RemoveCurrentKey(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.FullName, System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.Location)

or

AddCurrentKey("Application Name", "Path to application")

Run out of space above to to use that

eg

you could use for example

AddCurrentKey("Program Name", "Program Path")

or below should do that automatically for you

AddCurrentKey(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.FullName, System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.Location)

hope this helps

Personally I would just place what file / exe you are trying to auto start when windows is booted by going to your start up folder ( all programs - startup) and  just move the file to there of if you can not move the file just place a short cut in there........
