- Start Up Applications
- Posted by LeeCO on December 18th, 2005
Windows XP Pro: I currently have an application which is in the Start group.
Unfortunately this does not start until after a user logs in. I need this
application to start on boot up, BEFORE log in. How can I make this happen?

Try starting the program as a service. I think there use to be a
utility called SRVINST from the NT 4 resource kit that would do that.

Forgive me, but I believe this starts the program after logon, and with user
credientials.
