I believe the executable for the XAMPP Control Panel is xampp-control.exe in your main XAMPP installation folder.
Press +R to open the Run dialog and type
shell:startup
:This will take you to the
%AppData%MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup
folder.Simply create a shortcut there to the program and it should start up automatically with Windows.
Xampp Windows 8.1 64 Bit
