Somebody knows if it is possible to launch an executable, in a windows NT or 2K system with a registry entry, not at the windows startup after the log on, but at the windows loading before the log on form presentation?

The only way I can think of is either using a service or if you have access to the TaskScheduler you can try to schedule your application - I believe there is an option to run a task at startup.
HTH
the only way is to write a driver,or use the GINA method.
You can put it in the Task Scheduler as previously suggested or put it in the Startup Script using gpedit.msc.
if you want it to run, do as ada said and create a driver that is called from win.ini (not sure if nt still uses win.ini the same way...but you can look into that). Or you can register your program as a service and it will load alongside windows, before login.
