Boot up in Windows? I usually put progs shortcut in the Start Up menu so it would run right after WinOS loads up. I also read somewhere that one can use autoexec.bat, but I never tried it. Configuring msconfig might also be 1 way.

Create a short cut to the prog and place it in the Start Menu folder. Windows loads everything in the Start Up menu folder.

I usually go to the prog I want to load. Right click and Create Shortcut. I cut the shortcut and paste it on the StartUp folder.
