Does anyone know how to start your application automatically when windows
starts, if possible before logon and else after logon.

I used the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run,
but this is easely to detect for most users.
I want it to be 'invisible' if you know what I mean.

The program is written in VC++ 6.0

Thanks Wouter.

You will probably want to consider converting your app to an NT "service" if
you need to run it before anyone logs in.  This is a fair amount of work,
but once you work through it once, it's not all that tricky.
