Well we would need to know a little about what OS your using. For now I'll venture a guess that adding new shortcut to your Windows Startup group would do ok.

It's an OS specific task. Your program will not run until your OS tells it to, so look up information about how your OS does things.

Look up sheduled tasks.

The Startup group has been part of Windows at least as far back as Windows 3.1. You won't have to change your source code at all.

In other words, put a shortcut to your executable in a folder called Programs/Startup. I do that too for some of my programs.
