I’ve released a new version of the tool to run any file at logon time.
You could run your avast scannings (in x64 version that does not have boot time scanning yet), or your defragmentation tool, or anything.
It’s available for download at Bob’s shared files (thanks Bob ;)): http://mysharedfiles.no-ip.org/AnyLogon.zip
