Start Script as a service or before login

[grasshopper3]

Hey, I have a script that I would like to run as a service or to run when the computer is booted before a user logs in. Can someone tell me if this is possible and how to do it? Or point me to a forum where this is already discussed (I didn't see one when I looked).

Thanks

added: I also need a way to share a folder that will return a success or failure flag. I am currently using a cmd command but i am unable to log weather it worked or not. Does anyone know how to read from the cmd or a UDF that will share a folder?

There are several service UDF's, e.g. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80201 or http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index....hp?showtopic=81880&hl=service%20udf&st=0
