Use the Task Manager and selct the task to happen on the event that handles when a user logs into the account. Here is one such tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/67503-task-create-run-program-startup-log.html

Possible duplicate of How to execute a script on sleep, hibernate, resume, and shutdown. chunkyb2002's answer tells you about the different Task Scheduler triggers available.

You can set triggers for tasks, as opposed to running on a schedule.

Start Task Scheduler from the start Menu
Select the Task Scheduler Library in the left nav pane
Select Action > Create Task... (not Create Basic Task...) from the menu bar
In the new Create Task window, select the Triggers tab
Click on the New... button
In the "Begin the task:" drop down, select "At log on" or "On workstation unlock"
Repeat and create a second trigger for the task that covers the one you didn't select before
configure the rest of the task normally
