Running an App on Computer Startup

Hey all

Basically I've almost finished writing a trivial backup application, and I'm planning to add it to windows boot list via the registry, startup folder etc. However I have no idea how I'm going to get it 'running' once a comp has booted up, as it will appear as a tray icon, therefore no events such as form load will fire afaik. I've tried to find some information, but it's difficult to search for.

Advice greatly appreciated.

You can make it a windows service and create small utility which will start after login (using registry or Starup), notice state of the service and control it.
