Did you see my reply here:

Do not include MC Server here, as this setting actually affects the desktop shortcut, not just Windows startup.

EDIT: And/or don't use the MC desktop shortcut to launch the GUI. Use MC23.exe /startup with a batch file, create shortcut to the batch file.

I use FireDaemonPro to launch as a service, but it's essentially the same idea.

One note I thought I'd add though.

I noticed that my "Service" would just stop working from time to time. I'd have to restart it.

Turns out, you also must make sure you DISABLE AUTOMATIC UPDATES in MC.

If you don't the service will pop up dialogs asking about updating, but because it's a service you won't see them and the service won't actually load.

I know this is an old topic, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in for anyone visiting it... There is the old fashioned way to automate loading of MC in Windows: The Startup Folder. See all of the info above and then: Change auto start to "Nothing", Have your computer auto log you in (it's easy to Google this), create that batch file (see above), then run "Shell:startup" and drop a link to your batch file into the directory that comes up, MC will auto load the next time you reboot. It will fail with each whole version upgrade, but you just change the batch file and you're all set.
