Guest Trups Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 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
Guest Anteaus Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 RE: Lunch the application after login page and before desktop!!! 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.

Guest Anteaus Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 RE: Lunch the application after login page and before desktop!!! 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.
