Starting programs at user logon screen

[uk_boy]

At the windows logon screen where you can select which user you want to log in as, by pressing win key and U you can start up the  Utility Magager, is it possible to run other programs when you are at the user logon screen or assign a shortcut to a program so that it can be run???

What operating system are you talking about?

You have to log in to run any installed programs.

Im using XP professional, you can run the utility manager (so the on screen keyboard or the magnifier) when you are still at the log on screen by using the keyboard shortcut winkey and U, so could you assign a keyboard shortcut to another single exe file to be able to run at login screen? Running actually installed programs would be impossible I think, but single exe files might be possible.
