Default Run program as user at startup?

Is there a way to run a program as a specified user when
windows starts up? I'd like this program to be always
running, even if the switch user/login screen is
displayed. I'd like to be able to switch users and the
program keeps running. I'd like to be able to access the
program from just 1 user account. The problem is it
isn't a service. Any ideas how to do this?

I'm running Windows XP Professional (Upgrade.)

The program I am trying to run is called SpeedFan.

It quiets noisy fans when the system doesn't need them at
full power. I'm trying to get it to work well in a multi-
user environment.
