    Actually your path is correct I transposed my last 2 directories....


    You can create a shortcut to put in the startup directory or put the path of your program in the registry key ...../run as  suggested

    If you want it to start every time you logon you can put a shortcut in the Startup folder in the Start Menu

    or add a string value to this key in the registry

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER to start it for all user
