Shortcuts may be created in the Startup group by specifying either the {userstartup} or {commonstartup} constant in the Name parameter of an [Icons] section entry.

Example:

[Icons] 
Name: "{commonstartup}\My Program"; Filename: "{app}\MyProg.exe"

Note: Writing to {commonstartup} requires administrative privileges, so be sure this is in your [Setup] section:

PrivilegesRequired=admin
