      You will probably need to add it to the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. But you may find that your users have their own ideas as to whether they want this to happen or not.

        You can add an entry in the registry, either the Run or RunOnce keys http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa376977(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

          Even simpler is adding a link in the startup folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup).

              I agree with others with either using the Registry and StartUp folder. However, there is also one more alternative if not more to consider. Why not try creating a Service? Here is an article to get you started. MSDN: Walkthrough: Creating a Windows Service Application Once that is done you can go to the Component Services and set the application to start once the computer has turned on. There is also very cool recovery options. (dcomcnfg) Hope this helps! :)

                Services shouldn't be interacting with the desktop, so not a great idea for a "form" app :)

                  Depends Mark upon what the developer is trying to achieve. Hence, the reason why I chose the suggestion icon. Just another option to consider that's all I was trying to get at. I don't know the specifics of what the developer is hoping to accomplish with the "form" app. Thanks for the feedback. :)

                    The answers here have assumed that you want your application to open automatically when Windows is started. I am wondering if what you are really asking is: how do you open your application when a file with the unique extension you are using for files you save is double-clicked ? Please clarify your question. thanks, Bill

                      Under Windows 7, a service cannot display a Form for security reasons. Well, it could, but at best, it'll show up on a seperate Desktop and the user would be informed that a service is showing something that might need the users attention. If OK'd, it would switch Desktops. This is not something I would use in a production app at all.

                          Add a link in the startup folder, you'll find that in the category "file system" in the setup project.
