You can try to use Windows Task Scheduler. Here is an example.

Your will not start when Windows starts. You're going to have to wait until the user logs on.

You can either use the Task Scheduler to do this or you can launch your app from the Run key in the Registry under either HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER: \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

If under LOCAL_MACHINE, the app will run for anyone who logs into the machine. If under CURRENT_USER, it will only run for the user that is currently logged in when you set the registry value up.
