    Hmm... It only seems to display the message in the account that created the task. I'll have to play around with the settings and get back to you.

    Confirmed as correct.

    Windows 7 Inside Out said:
    Triggering a task at logon Logon tasks can be set for any user or a specific user or user group. If the user whose logon has triggered the task is not the user in whose security context the task is running, the task will be noninteractive - in other words, essentially invisible. (The user can note the presence of the task - and terminate it - by running Windows Task Manager, going to the Processes tab, clicking Show Processes From All Users, and answering the UAC prompt.)

    OK. I think I've got it. Open Task Scheduler, click Task Scheduler Library to bring up the list of tasks, highlight the one you've just created and click Properties to bring up the following dialogue.

    Click Object Types... and change the settings so that only Groups is selected, as shown below. (Note that this is optional, it only narrows down the list you have to look through in the next step. If you wish to omit this step, click on Advanced instead and move on to the next step.)

    Click OK to save the task, and close the Task Scheduler. Regardless of the user logging on, this task will execute and s/he will see the results of it on their screen in their account.
