Is there a way to run a specific program on the Ctrl-Alt-Delete desktop.
Our internal developers have created a program that they want the users to have access to BEFORE logging in. Is there any way to accomplish this?

It is possible -- the Cisco VPN client does this with it's Start Before Login feature. The Stack Overflow crowd might have more details, but you might try looking for documentation on the "Pre-Login Access Provider" or PLAP feature in Windows Vista and later. I believe Windows XP uses a different method to allow this functionality with something called "Graphical Identification and Authentication" or GINA. | |||

C:\Windows\System32\osk.exe?) and with enough hacking could be replaced by something that isn't a keyboard. Of course, in Tablet PC mode this "keyboard" would pop up all over the place at the wrong times, so the answer is probably still no. – DerfK Aug 30 '11 at 20:58
