Answer 1

To auto-run your program at windows startup you want to add your application to the registry key at:

hkcu\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

There will be other keys there; take a look in regedit to see examples of what yours needs to look like.

You can add or remove a key there with the registry class:
