Try putting a shortcut to the batch file in the C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup folder if you are using Vista.

Theres a couple different ways..

first using regedit

REG ADD HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\run /v Yourprogram.cmd /t REG_SZ /d "C:\yourprogram.cmd" /f

you can type /ve instead of /v if you wish to enter no registry key name..

then using SC.EXE
sc create YourProgramName binPath= "C:\Yourprogramname.cmd -k runservice"

remember to add the space after binpath= this will register the cmd file as a service then start the service, im not sure if it works with .bat or .cmd files, but if you compile it to an executable it know it works..

If you are using XP it's

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

its very easy
when you have created your batch file copy it or cut
and then
right click on your start button click on open>programs
and there you will see startup paste your file there

any thing in startup folder will run automatically when computer starts

hope this help you  :)
