Why not put a shortcut in the Startup folder? Or...better yet, put a entry in the Run or Runonce key in the registry. A power-user should have sufficient rights to do that. In any event, the child script shouldn't run until after the 'desktop' gets started.

{Edit} Of course, if I had read Les' post better, I might have seen that he already suggested that. Doh!
