I'm quite new to visual basic, and I was wondering how to add a program to start up. I'm just curious, and would really like to find out :) thanks.

There are a couple of places in the registry, or you could copy an exe to the startup folder. There are also services, which start automatically, and can't be stopped usually.
Also, simply adding a shortcut to your exe in the startup menu works.
The registry locations are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
