    There are various methods but the "User-friendly" correct way is to place
    a short-cut to your program in the "Startup" folder off the "Programs" folder.
    The 'exact' path will depend on the Windows Platform. For example, for Win2k
    it would be...
    c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\myapp.exe

    For Win9x I think it something like...
    c:\Windows\Profile\Default\Start\Programs\Startup ?????
