If you comfortable with C/C++, then you can write a console program that will run before windows start.

Check out "Services".

I tried a "ServiceManager" either through here or vbsquare, but it didn't work as advertised.

sub key SOFTWARE
sub key Microsoft
sub key windows

Is there any way to make an Application
start BEFORE windows is run. I tried loading it into the Autoexec.bat file but then I
got a message saying the it cannot be run
in MS-DOS mode.

VB apps require the Windows Environment to run, so the best you can do is Run your App at Startup.
