I think its enough when you paste it in the startup directory??

The registry file must have extension .reg and would look like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MyProgram"="xyz.exe"However, as mentioned above, all you really need to do is to put a shortcut to you program into the Startup folder of the Windows program menu. You can do it with a single drag-and-drop mouse operation.
