If you're using v0.9.2.6 - available from this site - there's a configuration setting "Start with Windows".

I have been working wth Rainmeter for a while now and we find that Write to files that are to be placed in the programs file will require that the program is run with Admin Privies.

Now you can not start a program that has Admin Privies set as default when starting.

I am wondering if this is a similar issue.

No I don't think so. Almost all programs that can autostart with Windows invariably create a special entry in the Registry - and now Circle Dock does the same (that, incidentally, is the only modification Circle Dock does to the Registry).

In any event, most non-commercial PC users don't bother to log-in to a non-Admin type account. Non-Admin accounts are much more common in the business world where there's an IT department that enforces them.
