You can run any program you want at restart by creating a value in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce (or the
euivalent under keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) . Create a new value string value
with a unique name for your program with the command line to execute as the
data of the string value. The command will not get executed before the
logon though so you'd need to deal with that.
