Load applications automatically at Welcome Screen

Hi-

Any help on how to get an application to load
automatically at the Welcome Screen PRIOR to any user
loggin on? Right now no applications load until a user
logs on (we have multiple users on the XP box.)

The problem I am trying to solve:

If my system reboots on its own in a power failure (read
two days ago in NYC), I am no longer able to gain remote
access (via Windows Remote Desktop) because my ISP
assignes dynamic IP addresses and the application I have
on PC that automatically communciates my IP address to a
3rd party service won't load until someone logs on...and
if nobody is home, nobody logs on. Therefore, I need the
application to launch at reboot and not have to have a
user sign in.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
 
SAS,

I simply stumbled upon something that looked potentially
helpful...but I am not using it, so I'm afraid I can't
provide much more help. I take it you still aren't
getting your IP-assignment program loading properly?

Good luck!

It would be nice if he told us which method he is using.

If as a service

type in start - run

cmd /k tasklist /svr
