looking for a program that'll let me run, say for example, sol.exe
prior to the user logging in, is there still such an app?

Process Hacker does it. Tools --> Create Service.

If running XP Pro -

Click Start
Run
MMC
Click File\Add/Remove Snap-in
Click Add
Double Click Group Policy Object Editor
Select Local Computer (This assumes you are not in an AD Domain)
Click OK
Expand Local Computer Policy
Expand Computer Configuration
Expand Windows Settings
Click Scripts (Starup/Shutdown)
Double Click Startup
Click Add
Browse to the file you want to run
Click OK
Click Apply
Click OK
Close MMC (You can save it if you want to use this MMC again)

File should run the next time the computer is restarted. It will run
regardless of the user who logs in. If you want to limit it to a user
or group or users, make the change in the User Configuration section
instead of the Computer Configuration section. It will bwe in the same
location under that section but will be labled Scripts (Logon/Logoff).
