What is "task scheduler in visual basic"? If you mean existing Windows Task Manager, this is an existing service. It already does all you should do and is not related to "Visual Basic". If this is your own scheduler, I have no idea what is it. Anyway, you may want to have a Windows Service. Besides, you can register any application to be started on different phases of Windows start...

Please see my past answer: Windows Services - problem with operating system[^].

If you are talking about your own Windows Service, please see my past answers:
Walkthrough: Creating a Windows Service Application in the Component Designer[^],
Windows services Error[^],
Configure Windows Service with UI[^],
How to install windows service programmatically[^].

You can auto-start any application. I have one "secret weapon": Winternals AutoRuns which can help you to learn about all places where you can register it. Please see my past answer:
How to start the application before user login to the System[^].
