what has that link got to do with his question? Take the .reg file you have,
create a shortcut that has the following command:

 reg import {name of reg file}

and place it in your startup group.

Console Registry Tool for Windows - version 3.0

REG IMPORT FileName

  FileName The name of the disk file to import (local machine only)

Examples:

  REG IMPORT AppBkUp.reg
    Imports registry entrys from the file AppBkUp.reg
