2 ways ....

1. Add a shortcut in startup
Go to Start -> Programs -> Startup -> (right click) Explore
It will open the startup folder in explorer.
Add the shortcut to your program there.
To make VB able to do it read this
Create a shortcut or Creating Shortcut 2

2. Add an entry in Windows Registry.
Accessing the Windows Registry with the API in Visual Basic
Add Your Program to Startup
or Register Program to Start Up Automatically
You will need to create a new module.

Hope it helped.
