custom Startup Items launcher

[George Valkov]

I have created a C++ application that strips admin privileges and can then
start any application in restricted context (SafeRun).

I want to integrate it with the start-up items:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Current Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

.... so that Windows will only start my application and it
will take care to run the others with less privileges.

Is this possible and how?
Thank You for any web links, examples and ideas!

Re: custom Startup Items launcher

Thank You Kelly!
Now I know the order in which the start-up locations are processed.
I also found out here:
http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=5550
how to prevent windows from processing the registry Run locations.

I still need help on this:
My program or DLL must be notified about two events:
{
~ user logon
~ program or driver installation that creates and entry under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and then tells windows to execute it immediately to complete the
installation. Yes, some installations relay on this and will not be
complete, if they cannot create and execute a HKLM\...\Run startup item.
}

Any ideas?
