    Running a script when Explorer starts


    I need to run a script somehow when explorer.exe starts up. This isn't as simple as making it run on system startup or logon, because the system starts up but then kills explorer and brings you to a third-party login screen for my university system. Point is, I need to run a script when explorer.exe starts and I can't seem to find a way to do it. Any ideas?

I have a script that launches Ccleaner and needs to run at shutdown. Shutdown scripts do not run within the user space as I understand, so I figured I'd use a logoff script which will run while the user is still logged in. The logoff script works when logging off as expected, but does not run...
In the power settings, I set the monitor off time to 10 minutes. When I get away from my computer more than 10 minutes, an invisible program starts running. It uses harddisk like crazy, and I also hear the CPU fan working faster. I used "Process Explorer" to detect this program. I see a...
I screwed up a system file association. I created a .reg file from a portion of a full registry backup from two weeks ago.
