Ways to make an application run at OS startup from Java

smighMay 13 2010 — edited May 13 2010

Let's say I want to have a JCheckBox in a Java application labeled "Start this application automatically when Windows starts up" like many messenger and voip applications.

How would you do that from within the java application? Copying a shortcut to the Windows startup folder? Editing the registry? I would need this to work mainly on Windows but is there any cross-platform way of doing this?

Thanks.
