I wouldn't recommend copying files to the Startup Folder, as this wasn't its intended use, (supposed to place shortcuts in the Startup Folder)..

Instead, why don't you add an entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run in the Registry.
This will start the Application when Windows Starts.
