Question about 'Identifying the programs that Windows runs at boot'

I have a question about Identifying the programs that Windows runs at boot:

Many of these are supposed to run programs at "boot" time but I have tried them and I see my program running when I log in, not before. I want to run a program, actaully a BAT file to set up some ARP entries, that will run even if I never log into the system. I want this to support some devices that configure via RARP rather than DHCP. Any suggestions? This is for XP Pro.

You're stuck finding or writing a service or device driver, I think.

I'm not sure this will work, but try putting them in 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

instead of 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Still runs when I log in not when the system boots.

startupspy is a very good GERMAN program for this question.

probably you are looking for what is called there a "BootExecute" in the windows 
"Shell".

I think it might be controlled by the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\BootExecute]
