    Hi

    In Windows 8, it is possible to run a command whenever the login screen of the last user is displayed in a local computer? This command should always be run with elevated rights and just before this screen appears.

    Thanks

    Bye

    In other words, I should change the value of a registry entry via a reg command before the last user login screen appears. In addition, this reg command should be run whenever this event occurs regardless of the type of account and of the cause that produced it.

    Thanks

    Bye

    • You can run logon and logoff scripts with "Group Policy Editor":
      -> User Configuration | Windows Settings | Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
    • But "Group Policy Editor" is not available in Windows 8 - only in Windows 8 PRO
    • In your case you can't use the logon script option, because this script is running after login
    • But you can use the logoff script option - then the registry change is available for next login
