How can I control process launch order at start-up?

[zulu9812]

Basically, I have a program that can locks the computer so that a password is required to unlock it. Ctrl-Alt-Del can't get past it either. I've figured out how to get it to launch with windows, and how to use a macro to activate the lock as soon as the program launches. However, this program doesn't launch right away at start-up, leaving a small timeframe for an unauthorised user to stop the program launcing. So I really need this program to be one of the first processes to run when windows starts up. Any suggestions?

Well, they can probably always circumvent it by starting in 'safe' mode.

As to your specific question, can you use MSConfig to set the start-up order?

Well, I don't actually know what that is - is it specific to DOS mode?

I had a look, and it seems that you need to edit your registry. Are you comfortable doing that?

Yeah, I'm good with that. I even have a program that lets me view the registry in a windows explorer format
