yes... as its been noted before

there are 2 ways
one is to simply add your exec or atleast a shortcut of it into "Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup"

however there is a major problem with this (anyone using WindowsXP will know it already)

so the other way is to use the Registration Editing Commands in DBpro (also when you install or run for the first time whichever) ... somewhere in there is the windows Startup folder - in like Local Machine or something, i know someone here know what the exact folder is.

most people setup thier installers to do it thou

Instead of linking from the startup folder try the registry,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

btw - I have windows 98
