How about a shortcut in the StartUp folder below the Start menu?

Since you mentioned bootup, and not at user logon, using the startup folder or the
Runkey will not work as they require a user logon to take place. If you really want to use the Registry, you need to use the following key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices or RunServicesOnce
Note that the
Runkey is also ignored in Safe Mode. However, I would suggest a Windows Service. They are designed to be started when the system starts, and will be running when a user logs on and will remain running after a user logs off. They can easily receive for logon/logoff events. If you need finer control the point where your application starts, I think you would have to go the driver route. Peace!-=- James
