Check out these excellent answers here : http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/151824/How-to-run-a-program-at-startup.aspx[^]

public void SetStartup(bool start)
       {
           RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run", true);
           if (start)
               rk.SetValue(Path.GetFileName(Application.ExecutablePath).Replace(".exe", ""), Application.ExecutablePath.ToString());
           else
               rk.DeleteValue(Path.GetFileName(Application.ExecutablePath).Replace(".exe", ""), false);
       }
Try This function.And Add "using Microsoft.Win32"

Just place a shortcut to your windows application in the Startup folder.

it is something like: "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"


I have never ever created a shortcut myself, but a quick google gave me this code snippet

private void appShortcutToDesktop(string linkName)
{
    string deskDir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);

    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(deskDir + "\\"" + linkName + ".url"))
    {
        string app = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
        writer.WriteLine("[InternetShortcut]");
        writer.WriteLine("URL=file:///" + app);
        writer.WriteLine("IconIndex=0");
        string icon = app.Replace('\\', '/');
        writer.WriteLine("IconFile=" + icon);
        writer.Flush();
    }
}
