    Special Logon Events happening before I log in


    I have been troubleshooting an issue on my laptop. In the process, I have noticed that when I reboot, there are "special logon" events in Event Viewer, taking place (under my account) before I actually log back in. Reading about these events, it seems they are normally under system accounts and not to worry. I haven't found much about it happening under an actual user account. Any idea what is causing these? I have changed my password and disconnected my network access, but they still happen. A concerning side effect of this is that scripts that are supposed to run when I log in ARE running due to this special logon.

    For example, I shut down at 6:35, boot machine at 6:40 then log in at 6:45. In event viewer, I see the special logon under my account at about 6:40:15. I can see in log files that my startup script is running at around 6:40:30, and is truly running under my credentials. How can I determine what is causing this special logon?

    Have a look in 'Computer Management', then 'Local Users and Groups'. Look through all the groups, especially 'Users'. See if you find something that shouldnt be there.
