Without using gpedit.msc, would like to add power shell script to logon / logoff events in windows 7. Is it possible? If so, how?

@John

This is off the top of my head and you've probably already considered this, but why wouldn't you call a script from the Startup folder or, even better, the Run key in the Registry, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or RunOnce.

I meant to say that there is only a pointy clicky ways to do this. That doesn't work for an installkit.

I am dealing with the deployment side of this issue. I need to change the ForegroundLockTimeout setting to zero in order for my application to run properly on a user's machine. I assumed that there was functionality in Windows (7 and 2008 R2) where I could programatically get the machine to run a script on logon (must be a t logon since it is a HKCU setting).

After hitting my head against the keyboard looking on the internets for the last several hours - it amazes me that there is no pointy-clicky way to do this.

Wmi Filters are extremely low in many situations. I'll just tak adavantage of them in a very few cases.

Do you need to change the Execution Policy to run these scripts?
