How can I launch an exe file when Windows starts? I want my program to appear in the icon tray on boot if the user selects that option.

In addition to my previous post, you use this process to create the shortcut in the startup folder. Located in your start menu -> Start up

Yes, that is what I was going to say. Just at it to the start menu/start up.
