Save your db-start command "ORADIM71 -startup -sid ......." in a batch (command) file, for example DB_START.CMD, located in a dirrectory specified in your PATH system variable.

Then run Registry Editor, select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local_machine" and navigate to the SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows NT->Current version->Winlogon

There you will find key "System" (Class = REG_SZ) with value "lsass.exe". Double-click it and in String editor add the following string immediate after "lsass.exe" (without quotes, with comma):",DB_START.CMD".

I convinced myself that this works with any program.

P.S.
I was dealing with this problem about a year ago. Since then I moved to
NT 4.0 and Oracle 7.2/7.3 where automatic db startup is solved by Oracle
with special service named "OracleStart<SID>". So I'm writing this from
memory and hope I did not forget or mistyped anything.
