I don't remember where I found these.

UserInit Key This key specifies what program should be launched right after
a user logs into Windows. The default program for this key is
C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe. Userinit.exe is a program that restores
your profile, fonts, colors, etc for your username.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit

Notify - This key is used to add a program that will run when a particular
event occurs. Events include logon, logoff, startup, shutdown,
startscreensaver, and stopscreensaver. When Winlogon.exe generates an event
such as the ones listed, Windows will look in the Notify registry key for a
DLL that will handle this event.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
