Default How to run a program at boot-time (not login)

I need to know how to run a program at boot time. I know
how to make a program run when a user logs on (both putting
it in the registry and the startup folder), but I do not
know how to make it run when a user is logged out.

Thanks!

Try the RunServices key.

Run, RunOnce, RunServices, RunServicesOnce and Startup

You ask about boot time but then talk about logging off--what exactly do you
want?

I want a program to be running,regardless if a user is
logged in or out.

Sounds like an Autoexec.bat issue, provided the action is
DOS in nature.

Could it be that you want it to stay running, or just run
once, such as delete Temporary Internet Files, then stop or
do another task? That could be done via the Autoexec.bat
But if it is a proggie which can only be run in Windows,
then it won't be of much use.
