How to tell is program is started by click on execute or Windows startup

I know this sounds like a strange request, but is there anyway to tell how
your program was started? Specifically can you tell if it was started by
windows startup routine?

Thanks,

Norm

If you had 2 shortcuts, one in the Windows Startup and one on the
desktop, you could add a command line parameter that is different for
each. Thay way you could tell which shortcut was used to start the
app.

Thanks Chris, I had not even thought of that, I can add a command line to
the shortcut in the windows startup and then check to see if it is true.
