I am trying to get my application to start automatically
when I do a cold boot of my hardware.

If I load a shortcut into my \windows\start folder it is
not there after removing & reapplying the power.

In the registry there is a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\start section
with a dummy field only - is this where I should be
setting up the autostart?
what should the reg key setting be?

Thanks in advance

If you want to start a program on a soft reset, then you can place a
shortcut to the application in the Windows/Startup folder.
