Thanks, I'm familiar with msconfig (which is more or less a user friendly way of 
editting [HKLM/HKCU]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and Start>Programs>Startup, 
but anything you put in there is only being run when *booting* windows (i.e. after 
cold start or resetting your computer).

I mean after *standby* as well - so when I choose standby (as opposed to shut down 
or restart), computer goes "off" (well, kinda) and when I turn it back on, I'm immediately 
back in windows with all open programs etc, where I left. That's when I want to run 
a custom program.
