Answer 2

You could make your Java class into a Windows service.

Here's a stackoverflow question about how to do it.

You can set a service to start up automatically by setting it's Startup type to Automatic in the Windows service editor.

Answer 3

Create a batch file which runs your program, save it in Start menu > Programs > Startup

for example in win XP this folder would be C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or C:\Documents and Settings[YOURUSERNAME]\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
