You can:

1) Manually run your background task when you log in (e.g. choose it from
the Start menu, or browse to it with Windows Explorer and start it), then
continue to run other programs (e.g. via the Start menu).

2) Add a shortcut to your EXE in the "Startup" folder under the Start menu's
"Programs" folder. This will cause that EXE to start each time you log in.

3) You can also add a registry key to do the same or similar thing as the
Startup folder, however I wouldn't recommend that until I was convinced that
you really needed it.
