Which is another way of editing the registry for silent startups. Everyone who has ever written a device drive knows this one. That is why I stated: This is not my first rodeo and I know that you can set Windows to simply start via Registry modifications. Device Drivers 101. Not the solution. Sorry, if you read I need to detach the login UI and replace it with an injector which injects dynamic information from outside sources, that information continually changes as conditions change, but authentication is still necessary only not from the the windows login UI. Picture bio-metrics on steriods, now imagine that your fingerprints can change but you never know which finger has changed or when it changed. or which hand your finger is on or even if you have a finger, but the system does all without any user input. However you wish to picture this is fine, we have authentication information just not from the normal channels. And this is not going to change. If i need to reverse engineer WinLogin I will, I was just hoping that someone might have an idea how to use existing in place features of Windows 7. And not mearly setting static data in the registry.

There are XP-Systems in a sensitive production environment which gather authentication information from a different sources other than using the normal WinLogin mechinism. This is done for a variey of reasons which a specific to the systems. Each system currently has the ability to login using a completely different mechinism than is provided by the normal XP Windows with a GINA Replacement. User input for authentication purposes is undesirable, there are valid rasons why, which I will not disclose here. This is an extremely controlled, and dynamic environment which is impossible to explain here only that it currently works in XP. System Upgrades are required. The target platform is Windows 7. A solution which mimics the existing XP GINA model in place is required. The Windows 7 WinLogin Model is poorly documented. The focus is on using the information from the Login Screen rather then the Login Screen itself which needs to be replaced with an alternative solution. Programming Language does not matter, although the final solution will be in C++. Teh final solution has to work in both ADS and non ADS environments. As to the purpose I need to answer the question of, 'Is it possible'?
