Windows Login order of events

[Xsorovan]

Hey All,
I am looking to write a small little app that makes my life easier when I reimage people's computers. To do this I need to find a document that contains the order of events as they happen right after the user hits enter at the Windows login screen. (XP preferably)

(I tried Googling this, but I seem to lack the right words to use to find what I am looking for...)

Thanks...

I believe a program called bootvis (search google) can tell you whats happening in the order of boot processes.

I'm not really looking into the boot process. More the login process and more "Windows Theory" than anything else. Thanks though...

Hmm what is your app going to do?

Anyway, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodte...7e9f7-2090-4c88-8d14-270c749fddb5.mspx

Click on A to Z technologies list, then 'L' and then Logon. Next, expand Logon and Authentication Technologies and check out the Interactive Logon technical reference.

The idea was that I was really tired of waiting for people to login and then migrate their stuff from a previous image (of the same OS) so I thought it would be kind'a cool to create a batch that copies the user's profile (accross the network) as the default profile vs copying the default profile. Not exactly a wide use app, but something that would work very well for me.

P.S. Thanks for the link. That is kind of what I am looking for.
