It's usually started from the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"boincmgr"="\"D:\\BOINC\\boincmgr.exe\" /a /s"
That's created by the Windows installer - you don't have to do anything by hand.

Having said that, that example was taken from Windows 7, and probably hasn't been changed since Windows XP. It seems to work under Windows 10: Windows 11 hasn't been offered to my test machine yet - I'll watch out for problems when it arrives.

that didn't work, I'm thinking its because of bit locker, i have bonic on a 2nd drive, and its locked every time i reboot. i had to put bit locker on both of my drives or WIN 11 wouldn't install.

thank you!
