Probably, but if you can cope with DBPro coding, I'm sure you can handle Regedit.
Regedit for beginners
1. Click the START button
2. Click the RUN button
3. Type in "regedit" (without the quotes)
4. Click the OK button
5. At the top of the tree on the left, you will see a computer icon with the text "My Computer"
6. Below that, you will see a folder with "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" written next to it. Click the arrow next to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" to expand it.
7. Expand the SOFTWARE folder which appears when you expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
8. Expand the MICROSOFT folder.
9. Expand the WINDOWS folder
10. Expand the CURRENTVERSION folder
11. Expand the RUN folder
On the right hand side of the Regedit screen, you will now see a list of items, which link to applications to be run on startup.
To add a new item, right-click in the right-hand area of the regedit screen, and select NEW > STRINGVALUE
12. For the name, call it whatever you want. Double click on the new item, and put the path (eg: C:\DBPDev\myapp.exe) in the VALUE DATA field and click OK.
And there you have it, easy
