Default Adding a program to startup?

How do you add a program to startup? I'm trying to add a Joystick emulation program to startup when windows starts, but there's no option in the program and I can't remember how you do it.

just a note: hkey_local_machine applies to all users accounts so if theres more then 1 and you want the program to run only for the currently logged in user , use hkey_current_user

another way , goto start-->programs and right click "startup" , click "open' , create a shortcut to the program , applies only to currently logged in user
