stay-logged-in

I've written a Autoit script that starts a GUI application, when the application starts there is a login form. The scripts fills the login form and tries to log in. Then it records the time it took to login to the application and shuts the application down afterwards, writes a output file with the time it took.

The thing is, I can't get the application to start unless Im logged in as the user the Scheduled task is running on. So my question is:

Is there any way to start a GUI application even though the user isn't logged in? Or is the only way to have a user always logged in?
