Load Application on Windows StartUp

Question

I'm developing an Windows DLL and I want to know more about windows c++ programming.

The first problem I'm facing is know how to load my application when Windows is loading?

There is any guide on Windows Documentation describing that?

Answer 1

There are 2 ways that I know how to do this:

1) You can create a shortcut to the .exe in the autostart folder

2) You can add the .exe in the registry at Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Answer 2
