1.) Simply create a shortcut to the desired program, which u want to be start automatically.

2.) Now Right-click on Start button and select "Open All Users", a window will open, now u'll see "Programs" folder, open it and u'll see "Startup" folder ( may be its hidden so select "Show all files and folders" in "Folder Options" ).

3.) Copy that shortcut in "Startup" folder.

Thats it. Now every time ur program will automatically start as soon as windows starts.
