Lunch the application after login page and before desktop!!!

[Guest Trups]

Hi,

 

Is there any way to lunch the application after login page and

before desktop? I know one way to add the entry in Runoncekey. I

want this application to run every time the user log in. Couple of

problem with Runoncekey....

1. This key is meant to use just for one time application

2. User can use cntr+alt+del and cancel the application.

 

I want this application to stay there till user hits "OK" and then

show the desktop. There shouldn't be another way for him to skip this

application.

Can anybody help?

 

Thanks

Trupti

You can do this by hooking either the 'userinit' or 'shell' pointers in the

Winlogon registry key. Not for the fainthearted though. Be particularly

careful about getting the userinit one wrong, or the computer will fail to

boot properly.

For an example, go to http://mylogon.net?page=download and get the source.

 

'explorer.exe' is the code shim which launches whatver you want to happen,

and then returns control to the startup process.

Note that it HAS to be called explorer, or the desktop won't load - but it

need not be in the Windows folder.

 

The actual hook is inserted in 'settings.au3' - around line 360. In this

case it uses the shell hook, but a similar approach can be used with

userinit.
