Is it possible to run a Swing application on startup of PC

Hi,

I want to run a Swing application on start up of my system.

Is it possible to run the application,just after the startup of System.

Please help me....

Thanks in advance..!!

Since it has a user interface, there isn't any point in running it before somebody logs in. If you want to run it when somebody logs in, that's probably possible, but how you would do it depends on what operating system you were asking about.

Thing is ..I want to create a gadget kind of thing with spring..As a desktop application....

Now,Whenever I run the through IDE or command promt ..the Gadget appears
What I want ..I want to run this gadget when i start my computer..

I hope..I am able to explain my requirement

The question has nothing to do with Java and everything to do with your OS. Do you know how to schedule any program to run on computer startup?

Thanks Darryl...

Faraz Md please read your private messages before you post again.

You can run Java programs upon PC startup using a service wrapper; look it up. However, it cannot interact with the desktop, so no user interface is possible.

You can run any Java program whenever a user logs in. In Windows, all you need to do is create a shortcut in the Startup folder of the start menu. Another option is using the Run part of the registry. In Linux it's different but still possible.
