Questionson Win 9X startup

[Sonoma]

hi,
I have created a password app that works ok.
a few things I need to figure out are:
1.how do I get it to run before windows desktop loads?
right nowI have it loaded in the "run" section of my registry.in a sense this works just likebeing in the start folder.
2.how do make it run only if the user uses the escape button or logs on withoutNT authenication?

Any help appreciated

you could make a form and when it loads it hides desktop's icon, and taskbar, if password is incorrect program will log off the current user or restart the PC, other then that I have no idea how to make for to start before windows does...umm, maybe Autoexec.bat??? that should load your exe before windows is completely loaded

Good Luck!!!

That's not going to work - a VB program needs windows to be running first.

hmmm.Any suggestions?

HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\runservices
create a string value with the path to your exe. Programs here run before a network login.
