windows application in startup

Hi,

I have a windows application developed which can run in system tray. I
want to set up the executable to run while the OS starts. One way, i
can think of doing it is by writing a windows service which calls my
windows application and then set the service to run automatically. I
find this a round about way of achieving my target. Could anyone
please let me know the ways through which i can run my windows
application while starting my OS?

regards,
Sujatha.

Hi,

You can put your app in the Startup menu.

doesn't make sense. You want it to run when the OS starts or when a user
logs in... which one? System tray apps shouldn't start until a user logs
in. In that case, put a shortcut to your app in the user's startup folder.
If you want to run when the OS starts, then you shouldn't have any interface
components. In that case,simply run as a windows service.
