Run a program at the Windows startup

[rafs]

Hello,
I need to run a program, when the win2000 pro starts, but the user can not have access to the OS functions.
I try to put the .exe in start up folder, but the program take several seconds, to start, at this point the user can use the OS (win explorer, paint....), no good
How can i do this?

Thank's for the help.

You could call the program from a logon script. So when the user logs onto the computer the script will run in turn the program will run before the user gets todo anything.

mmc group policy has a setting to run a logon script

the path to the *,exe can easily be entered here

Do you mean you want to replace the shell prohgram (explorer) with one of your own?
