This might be a simple solution.....

Option 1:
Open Control Panel
Open Performance and Maintenence,
Scheduled Tasks.
Add Scheduled Task
Find or Browse to the application you need to run.
Select: Perform this task (o When My Computer Starts)
Add the Admin Credentials.


Option 2: (Wont work on XP Home)
Run:
GPEDIT.MSC
Expand Computer Configuration_Windows Settings_Scripts
Double Click Startup, And Browse to application.
You may need to create a batch file to do this.

Let me know if this works.

I forgot to mention, that when you add a scheduled task, by default the task terminates after 72 hours. You may want to uncheck that box if it applies

windows resource kit, has a tool that lets you register an exe as a windows service.

hi there, thats impossible because the OS physically has no station to run on because there is not a user logged in.

apache does it... no user logged in; just sitting at the log in screen - waiting for a user to log in. it is set up as a local system service. presumably if the app is set to run as a local system service - it starts prior to login

There is a wonderful program called "Auto power on and shutdown.exe" which you can download, which after installing allows you to run any number of programs/applications without even logging into any particular user account.

It also wakes-up the computer from hibernate mode at a particular time to start the application!

Thanx for your reply, but I wanna running the application automatically without log in to windows.

If I have to add a program shortcut in the startup folder then the application just will be running if somebody user log in to windows. But in my case I want running without log in (before somebody user log in to windows)


Thanx

Hello,
You have to add a program shortcut in the startup folder.
The Startup folder is listed in Programs, accessed from the Start button. Click Start >Programs and scroll down until you see the folder labeled Startup.
Double-click it to open its contents window then now you have to add the application shortcut by Copying/Pasting your application desktop shortcut icon into there.
Then the next time you boot Windows, your application will open automatically.

Best regards
