It sucks, but at least it's in a centralized location. Back in the INI file days you'd have to set the config in various places. Which, come to think of it, is kind of how things work in Linux.

Related to the OPs problem, do you know if there is a Startup folder in Windows still? Back in the Windows 95 days we could just drag a BAT script to that folder and it would always run on login.
