Hi,

Is there any way to start my own process as soon as the user logs into
computer. I want to run my process as hidden and i need to show it before
logging out of the computer.

Please help me. Better if any one can provide a sample.

Thanks in advance,
Venkat
 
Sounds like "regedit.exe" time to me.

Start\run regedit.exe

goto: My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

After going to that location, Add a string Value from the edit menu.
You should see a lot of other programs, hence you will have lots of
examples, and probably a few spy ware and other *cough* "great" software.

As for waiting for the logout event........ I think you could find that in
the dotnet frameworks, or you *might* have to use a pinvoke.
(goto www.pinvoke.net for those)

On the other hand..... if this is going to be a service..... maybe you should
look up how to design a windows service.

If you want to make the whole run on login stuff easier.... you could just
put it
in the start menu: Start\Programs\Startup\YourProgram
