As far as changing the image that is displayed when Windows is booting up, this link will help you out:

This image cannot be replaced with an application, but you can change it to your image/logo. As for starting your application at startup, you simply need to put a link to your application in the startup folder of Windows. Another way of doing it would be to put your application under the Run section in the registry. Here are the places you could put it:
