Let's get this straight - there is no way to get an Oracle database to start up automatically with NT. Either of the solutions so far provided - putting Database Manager in your startup group or adding batch files to the registry will NOT startup your database automatically. The key is - YOU MUST LOGIN FIRST! Otherwise, nothing will happen. I want a solution from Oracle that will start my database during the NT boot sequence and not wait till I log in. If my system boots for some reason - power failure, etc.. - I may not be around to log in and start the database. It would be best if it happened without requiring me to login.
