If this a MSDOS machine, call the program from within the autoexec.bat. If this is a Windows machine do as Uli said and put a shortcut to the program in your startup folder (Start-->Programs-->Startup).

Hope this helps.  8)

Please don't hijack other peoples threads or double post. There is enough confusion around here lately as it is.
