put application in startup

I am planning to start my application whenever the user starts the computer. ASFA I know, there are two options available to me:

However, the problem is, AVs like Kasperesky reports the registry paths (if added by an app) as keyloggers. Just wanted to hear from you people, which is better? Adding a shortcut to startup folder or using the registry way.

I really would prefer that you didn't force my app to start whenever I reboot. So, if you really insist, then please put it in the Startup folder and don't hide it in the Windows registry where I will never be able to find it. There may be times when I need this thing not to start up every time, so please let me do the choosing by putting the shortcut where I can see it and manage it. Otherwise, if it gives me too much trouble, I may just start up Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, and you really don't want that, do you?
