Go to Apps -> System Preferences, then click Accounts, select your account, click Login Items, the little plus icon, then add the app

System Preferences -> Accounts ->Login Items.

Press the + button and add the app you want.

choose your account
the Login items
click the + icon
then choose your application that you wish to open automatically.

alternatively, if your app is in your dock, just right click on the dock icon and select the "open at login" option

The best part about having a bunch of startup items is watching them all bounce at the same time when you turn your computer on!
