Put a shortcut to the EXE in the StartUp folder found on your All Programs menu found on the Start button.

Start -> All Programs -> StartUp

Now when Windows boots it will start your application.

Wouldn't it be better to make something so the application adds itself to the startup registry? I would appreciate to learn doing that.

Either way will work equally well and both are fairly easy to implement. You could have your installation add a shortcut to the startup folder or just add a new registry entry.

You will need to add a registry entry to the following key for programs to startup during windows bootup.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Add your App to this Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To add it to a user specific startup list, use HKEY_CURRENT_USER/HKEY_USERS instead.
