I want my installer to make the program start on windows startup. At  
the moment I'm just adding a shortcut to the program to the Startup  
folder in the Start menu, which works fine on Windows XP but fails on  
Vista.

Is there a "proper" way to do this? Or a work-around so that the  
program will start on Vista startup?

The code in the wxs file is this:

<Directory Id="StartupFolder" Name="Startup">
           <Component Id="StartupMenuItem" Guid="MYGUID">
             <util:InternetShortcut Id="TrayIconStartupShortcut"  
Name="AppName" Target="[INSTALLDIR]app.exe" Directory="StartupFolder"/>
             <RemoveFolder Id="RemoveStartupItems" On="uninstall"/>
             <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="SOFTWARE\A\B 
\StartupMenuitem">
               <RegistryValue Type="string" Value="Default Value"/>
             </RegistryKey>
           </Component>
</Directory>
