Default Starting programs at/before login


Hi Guys.. Im trying to find a method to run the onscreen keyboard at the
login screen.

its a (mobile) touchscreen PC that gets moved around a lot.. in theory
it needs nothing other than itself and a power cable, but... anoyingly,
i need to keep a keyboard with it just for the 2 second process that is
logging on..

its setup for remote login and as such MUST have a password set..
problem with this is when you log out from remote, you must enter that
password to get back in locally.. i also cant reboot it and get in with
autologin every time, as its a never off box, does a bunch of monitoring
tasks n junk.

If i could use the onscreen to type in the password that'd be problem
solved and id never need any external bits at all.

anyone have any bright ideas on a method to do this?

thanks
OOPz

Ill leave that for the impartial observer to decide.. but, it would
appear that you, most certainly are...

how precicely am i supposed to login with that, it runs AFTER login...
It helps to actually read the post as basic comprehension of the
problem is fundamental prerequisite of fixing it... but.. thanks for
playing.

Instead of being a smartarse why don't you press it moron. Perhaps I did read your post.

From help
a.. Utility Manager enables users to check an Accessibility program's status and start or stop an Accessibility program. Users with administrator-level access can designate to have the program start when Utility Manager starts. Users can also start Accessibility programs before logging on to the computer on by pressing the Windows logo key () + U at the Welcome logon screen.
