Making a program startup when computer turns on

Just a quick question how do i get a program to satrt up by itslef when my
comp turn on?

Put a shortcut to it in the startup folder (C:/Users/<Your user
name>/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup.
You must select show hidden files to see the Appdata folder.

Or, even easier, right click on the Start Orb and select "Open All Users" and
paste your shortcut into the desired folder.

It's just as easy in XP.
Go to C:/Documents and Settings/<Your User Name>/ Start Menu/Programs/Startup
and put your program shortcuts there.
