WinXP: how to auto-start processing sketch on bootup?

I am using a processing sketch to do a data acquisition task (data forwarded to pachube.com). This computer sometimes reboots for windows updates, etc. (I am running Windows XP SP3). How do I get my PachubeData.pde sketch to auto-run after the computer reboots?
If I simply double-click on the .pde filename, it launches the Processing edit window, but does not actually start the sketch. To have it run I have to separately click the "Run" button. So I presume dragging the link to the "Startup" folder will have the same effect (launch the Processing editor, but not the sketch itself). Any suggestions?
EDIT: OOops! Nevermind, I just discovered "File/Export Application" to create the standalone .exe file.
