File accessed on login[resolved]

i was just wonder if there is a file that is only accessed when a user logs into windows and no other time..

the file must also be universal to most windows machines (with regards to its file path)

You can set scripts to run at logon ..

Is this what you want?

nah, i didnt want anything external of the normal processes running.

i was hopping that there would have been a file that was accessed. e.g to confim password or to get settings for that user.

The user settings are stored in the registry and this resides in the file ntuser.dat in the users profile directory.

All passwords are stored on the somputers SAM file which is opened and locked when windows starts by the ntlogon process.

thanks very much buddy, big help :)
