The easiest choice is to place a short cut of the program in the startup folder (in start menu).

Other more complex approaches would be to use Windows Services etc.

Windows Services???

If you want to run the program when windows starts, create your application as a service which then is set to start automatically.

If you want the application to start when user logs in, you can define it in startup folder of Start menu or for example put it into

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

in the registry.
