how to start program at login screen?

hello, what must i do to start a program at the login screen when the computer starts up?
Do you mean before or after they log in and what version of windows are you running?
nah, for after login, i know i can start by entering a key in the registry or just put it at the startup folder thing.

i'd like to start up the program before the user logs in, so that i can just switch on the computer, and do whatever i want on it, without logging on first. kinda like the network print sharing service.

i would like the program to work on XP, Vista and Win 7, since i have computers on all 3 OSes.

Do you mean automatically log you in? I wouldn't know how to do it but I think you would have to edit BIOS.
no... i mean, start the program before i log in.

like i said, i want it to be like the network print service.

i only need to turn on the power for the server, and the program can be used. i do not have to log in on the server; it can stay on the login screen.
