I need to get my program to run just after the log in and

when the desktop is shown first. The timing is important! My program should

run just after the log in screen unloads(when only the wallpaper is visible)

and before the desktop items loads and show in Win XP. Tried using service

but my program needs to

run under the current user rather than under "SYSTEM". Putting in Startup

folder and "...\Run" key in registry also didn't help 'cause they loaded the

program too late. Could 'wlnotify.dll' have done the job? Or please suggest

me anyother way.

    Sanjeev,

     

    All you will get from double-posting (treble-posting now) is a lot of angry

    people like Rock throwing their toys around. Keep to the single post, please
