Drag a link to RealTemp.exe into your Startup folder. In XP, click on the Start menu and it should be easy to find your Startup folder.

Remember, just a link to the exe that you want to start. Don't drag the whole program folder into there.

In Vista or Windows 7, this folder is a little more hidden but it's still there. Have a look in this folder:
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Startup

I've found that this is the best way to start a program with the fewest issues and if you ever get sick of RealTemp, it's easy to go back into this folder and delete the link to it. I prefer not to add any items to the startup area in a users registry so they can drag the RealTemp folder to wherever they like on their hard drive.

The Task Scheduler in Vista or Windows 7 is also a great idea to control start up items but it's a little too complex for some. Here' a tutorial if you want to learn about it.
