Create a .desktop shortcut in /etc/xdg/autostart like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Script Name
Comment=A Comment
Exec=path/to/executable
Type=Application
Terminal=false (or true for terminal applications)
StartupNotify=false

That would do it system-wide. Don't forget you can also use /etc/skel 
for customisation of home directories.
