How to add a .exe file in the startup?

[Anindya]

Hello friends,
Can anyone tell me how to add a .exe file in the startup. I want the file to start with other startup files after the windows boot. Please tell me the process in detail.

Just make a shortcut of the file and place it to Startup folder (which u'll find in Programs folder)

or just open regedit and goto any of following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

and in right-side pane create a new String value with any name and paste the path of the EXE file in its value
