I need to make a good security app. I want to have my app load before Win98 Starts up

[Daniel_Christie]

How can I code my application to load up before Windows logon screen comes up...Basically I am interested in loading my software as soon as Windows is being launched.

How can I code this?

Put your app in this list in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

Yes i know how to make it load up like that. That is the equivalent of placing it in e Startup Folder. That can be easily defeated by an unauthorized user.

No, I was looking for a way to load my app before Windows is fully loaded, (Before ctrl+alt+delete, etc.. can be used). How would I successfully start my app like this?

You can only delete the key, if you booted succesfully into windows.

And you can disable ctrl-alt-del in code.

It is not good way, you can boot windows on safe mode and delete the reg key...
