Backup you registry b4 doing wut I am about 2 tell u!!!
If you have only one account on ur xp or If you have more than one account on ur xp and want to apply this to all accounts on ur xp then go 2 start > run > regedit. Then in the left window navigate to hkey_local_machine > software > microsoft > windows > current version > run. Right click on an empty space in the right windows and then create a new string value. Name it n e thing u want (suggestably da name of the program you want to run at startup), but modify the data so that it points exactly to where the file you want to run is (most of the time it's an executable; not the shortcut!); for example, "C:\blabla\blabla.exe". Once you're done doin dat then go to file > exit and then restart/shutdown the computer that u made the change 2.
If you have more than one account on ur xp but want to apply it to a specific account then go into that account and do the same thing except for the fact that after running "regedit", navigate to hkey_current_user instead of hkey_local_machine.
What program is it? There may be dependencies that aren't satisfied until the OS is fully loaded.
If this is the case, you can add a batch file to your start up group that has several "sleep" statements, forcing it to wait a few seconds after OS startup before firing up the prog you are after.
anything is possible - nothing is free
