How does repeating the quest three times improve the question?

Because this is my first time to ask a question on codeproject and I don`t know what to say. :)

If you want to customise the Logon see Winlogon and Credential Providers (Windows)[^].

Because a GUI application requires to be started as user, you can not execute such before a logon.

All you can do is starting a service which does not have GUI capabilties. There are solutions to let a service display a window but these usually require using the account of a logged in user.

You don't. It's a MASSIVE security risk.

What you can do is, very carefully, write a Credential Provider[^].
