    put a registry key in

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    with the path to your exe:

    C:\Program Files\Netropa\Multimedia Keyboard\MMKeybd.exe

    for example,

    that will run on startup....

    Or in the win.ini file in the windows section, put load = apppath.
    But the registry is better.
