User Startup folder:
"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
All users Startup folder:
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
Find your xbmc.exe, copy (CTRL+C), go to one of the above folders, right click and choose "Paste shortcut"... You could right click on the shorcut, choose Properties, from the Run drop-down choose Maximized, OK. Logoff and log back in to test it.
If you only have the one user, Windows will autologon and run the startup entries. Otherwise, you can use Sysinternals Autologon to set a user/password and Windows will auto-logon with that user starting XBMC with your PC, done.
-----------------
Actually, even better is to go into Start Menu > Programs > XBMC, right click the XBMC shortcut, select copy and then go to one of the folders I mentioned and paste it in there. The XBMC shortcut contains a -fs startu parameter to make the application go full screen, which the Maximized property I mentioned earlier wouldn't do. The rest of the stuff with the auto-logon etc still applies. Good luck.

if you have remote control - i think you need EG (EventGhost)
this program is perfect for working with xbmc - and it can run xbmc automatically at system startup
(sorry for my english)
