startup - Application Start Before Windows Explorer -


some installation applications stop (or appear stop) normal windows booting. computer starts, user logs in , installation program starts before others (like windows explorer).

how can replicate behaviour in own program?

e.g.

  • os boot
  • login
  • the program runs, updates etc.
  • the rest of programs run (e.g. windows explorer , ever runs on startup)

if want start application before shell starts, can add value userinit value in registry. in key:

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon

there value named userinit. change program run before userinit.exe. example, start notepad before shell/everything else initialized:

c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe,c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe

use commas separate programs should started.

this works windows xp, vista, , 7.
