Help with making a dos command run at startup

Hello.

I got this little program that changes the text on the start button to
anything I want but it changes back with every reboot/bootup. The
instructions mention commands you can use to auto change it when the pc
boots, here they are:

-------------------------------------------
You can also rename the [Start] button by running the file "StartBtn.exe"
from the MS-DOS command prompt. To do this, you must go the directory which
you have been installed the application, use this sysnax to run the program.

a.. Usage:
StartBtn.exe NewLabel
which NewLabel parameter is the new label for the [Start] button.


a.. Example:
StartBtn Begin
Changes label of the [Start] to "Begin".

This can be most useful when you want to rename the [Start] button at the
Windows startup.

Now I can put the StartBtn.exe in my windows dir, so how do I make it
run the ms-dos command "c:\windows\StartBtn.exe Begin" when windows
starts? Thanks.

Create a shortcut with that command, then put the shortcut in the "Startup"
folder in "Start|All Programs".
