How to write a python program that automatically starts when windows start?

Question

I'm writing a program using python 2.6 and pyqt4. I want this program to automatically start whenever windows stars (something like uTorrent client). How do I make this work? I am using windows 7.

Answer 1

You can just place a shortcut in the "Startup" folder, in the windows start menu.

Answer 2

You can compile your python script into an exe and add it to your startup items: Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
