Make sure you back up the registry before you try any of this because one wrong move and you will be in deep doo-doo. After opening the Registry Editor, click on File---Export. Then name the file something like Registry Backup and put it in a location you can find later, if necessary.

I don't know exactly how powerstip works, but chances are the startup path is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run(Once, OnceEx, or some combination of that). However, won't it kill your settings when you exit the program? I mean, doesn't it have to be running to have any effect?
