I had an updater program that started itself on logon but was not able to find it anywhere. After some time I found a hidden task in the task scheduler and managed to turn it off. That made me wonder, what are the possible ways to set a program to run at startup? I know of:

  1. Registry CurrentVersion\Run (msconfig Startup tab)
  2. Startup folder in the start menu for current and all users.
  3. as a service
  4. via task scheduler
  5. as a driver?

After some searching I also found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3070152/

Are there any other ways? Or other folders like the Startup folder which are executed at startup?
