Sanjeev,

MSDN have their own managaed forums if you are a subscriber

What language are you writing in?

V C++

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc

VB.NET

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

ASP.NET

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

C#:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp

Anyway,

If you are using a service controller object in .NET languages you can set it to
run as current user not just system. But using a service if the application runs
for a few seconds or a few minutes is a waste of computer resourses

Best thing you can do is add your application to the current user RUN key

Simply:

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Dim reg As RegistryKey =
Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run",
True) 'Open for writing
Dim strAppPath As String = Application.ExecutablePath()

Try

reg.SetValue("My Startup Name Here", strAppPath)

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show("Unable to create startup entry", "My Application Name)

Finally

If not (reg Is Nothing) Then reg.Close()

End Try

I didn't find appropriate forum for asking Windows based question in MSDN, so
I posted it here. I need to get my program to run just after the log in and
when the desktop is shown first. Tried using service but my program need to
run under the current user rather than under "SYSTEM". Please direct me to
appropriate forum if necessary.
