Windows Startup Methods

[born2c0de]

I use Windows XP and I want to know all the possible ways a program can be made to start with Windows. I just know these methods:

1) Mention FilePath in autoexec.bat
2) Mention FilePath in Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\ for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and/or HKEY_USERS and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Do you guys know any more methods?
[I think there's another way with win.ini or system.ini too...]
