Subject: VB Script program running before logon

Question
is it possible to set a vb script to run before windows logs on, or before the desktop loads?

Answer
One option can be running the script as a service.  This way the script will be run when the machine starts, before the login, but I don't know if this will fit your needs.
There are some commercial software that allows you to do this, for example:
http://www.firedaemon.com/
(found after a google search on "run application as windows XP service")

Hope this helps,
Miguel.
