Anyway to load program before start menu is displayed?

[jonvantuyl]

im working on a sercurity program, I need this program to load before the start menu is displayed. Is there any way to do this?
Or is there any way to close all open windows when the program loads? (like search, control panel, apps, etc..)

Why not just load it up at startup? (either by putting it in the StartUp folder, or via the Registry in the path: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)

i did that but there is a small delay between when windows loads and the program opens, allowing someone to get into things that are on the start menu, so that they can still use the computer. is the registry faster then the start up folder? please help. thanks

try HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunService

it might go faster, or try adding/chaning the "Run" Keyword in your win.ini file
