How to load my application at startup in XP

hi!
I have coded a Login Application in VB6.0. I want it to load first when Windows Xp Professional starts. How can it be done...

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.
