    Put it into autostart by dragging the Shortcut into the Autostart folder.

    I wouldn't play with the registry when there's such an easy alternative...

    Nrbelex is correct, try not to mess with the registry just to have speedfan work on start up.

    Here's a picture to show you, also you just double click on the "Startup" folder, and it will open a window, then you take a shortcut of speedfan and put it into there, and reboot your laptop and see it if auto startups.
