You can add an entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The name of the entry should be the name of your program, and the value should be the full path (including name of exe) to your program.
To find out how to write to the registery, just search the board and you'll come across some examples.
