You could try putting it directly into the registry in this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Alternatively you could leave it the same and set the home page to the
http://my_server_name:my_port_number and just set IE to start on boot much
the way you have. Both *should* work for you.
