Fairly simple question with hopefully a simple answer.

I'd like to have an application that runs ONLY in the background in MF
start up automatically at boot time.

It is an application, and can't be written as a driver.
The only ways I could think of are to use Set Startup or to put an
INIT in the System Folder that would launch the applicaiton.
Both of these are awkward and what I'm looking for is something we can
tweak in the application's resources, such that when it is put into the
system folder, it is started up at init time.

Can this be done?  If not, how about in System 7?
