startup

Is it possible that someone here could explain how to use this code. Please keep in mind i am a complete amateur, so simplifications may be needed.

Private Const cPGM = "C:\VB Forum\startup\Example.exe"

Dim oShell As IWshShell_Class
Set oShell = New IWshShell_Class
oShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MyVBApp", _
               cPGM, "REG_SZ"

How exactly is this code used? Is it saved as an .exe file and ran or what? Thanks for your prompt reply and informational feedback.
