I would suggest writing a console app, using Win32API

ShellExecute(..,...,...,...,....,...);
to start the program in the background the machine is booted up.

In your windows registry key RUN, add a value that would referrence the program you wanna run, when the machine boots up, or run the console program i have mentioned above.

the program could only be seen running throught the task manager if using WinNT or Win2000.

I hope this help. Good luck
