You need a compatible Windows OS for a start. To start an application on Windows start up, you place it in the start up folder.
There should be detailed instructions on this from Microsoft.

Not sure how relevant this is to new-er versions of Windows since the last time I used Windows was XP.

I remember using these registry keys to perform such tasks...

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
