Prevent CommandPrompt window open for startup application

Question

I have a Java application that should run at OS startup.
It is running on Windows XP Professional and I added registry key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and used this as key value:

java -jar "C:\path\to\app.jar"

But this opens CommandPrompt window at start up!
How Can I run my application on startup without openning that CommandPrompt window?

Thanks

@HernánEche: `javaw -jar "C:\path\to\app.jar"` (without `start`) worked. with start it didn't worked. Thnaks — Ariyan, Dec 14 '12 at 18:26
