There are a lot of ways to do this. When are you wanting to do it? before login? After login? After the desktop appears?

Here are some links to check out:

Here's one describing exactly what happens at login:

Also, you can drop a Shortcut of the program into the StartUp folder in the Start menu. If you put it in the All Users' Start Menu, it will be there when everyone logs on.

thanks for ur quick response. Can u please be specific to tell me how can i load my application after Login (i.e. ctrl+alt+del ). i wan to load it before other applications.
