Start an .exe while start up my machine?

Question

How to start an exe file or application while my windows started?

To my knowledge you can't do it when Windows starts unless it's a service. And services are started in a different way ;) What you can do is start an exe file when a user logs in (automatic login counts as well). You just have to place a shortcut to your exe in a dedicated folder. See e.g. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-za/windows/run-program-automatically-windows-starts#1TC=windows-7 I hope this helps.
