i know this is a weird question but does bitminter start on startup without the user having to log in?
BitMinter client has options to start working automatically when you start the program, but it won't start up at boot or login by itself.
In Windows you can drop the shortcut in the "startup" folder on your start menu, on another OS you might set up to run the command "javaws
http://bitminter.com/client/bitminter.jnlp" automatically when you log in.
