Try this :

CRegKey key;
LONG status = key.Open(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run");

if(status==ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
key.SetValue("Path of your program","Name of your program");
}

key.Close();

do not forget to include atlbase.h in your application

In continuation With Giorgi:- there are two more place from where you can start your application at window startup:- #1 already told bu Giorgi #2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER code:- (just One change to Giorgi code)

CRegKey key;
LONG status = key.Open(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run");

if(status==ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
key.SetValue("Path of your program","Name of your program");
}

key.Close();

#3 Make entry in %windir%\startup
