I'm building an app that I would like to have run on Windows startup. I also would like to allow the user to toggle this feature on and off in an options screen. Other than placing the app's .exe file in the Startup folder, is there a way to do this?
 
You could get your app to change the run key in the registry depending on the option they chose.

I can't remember the keyname, do a search on Microsoft KB for runonce, there is a Q article that explains all the keys and when they run.
