Solution 1

The simplest way is to have your installer create a shortcut to your app in the user's Startup folder.

Solution 2

It can be achieved in various ways:
Option 1: Place a short cut of your application in the startup folder.
Option 2: Using Registry settings. Refer: Running a program at startup[^]
