Can you make an application start upon log out event?

Hello,

I have a folder on my C: drive that I must manually copy from C: to a
network folder at the end of every day, so that it can be backup up along
with the server's files. Until today, when I installed this App (it's called
Karen's Replicator - very cool) that will automatically do a back up for me.
The catch is that I'm supposed to log-off when I walk out of my office, but
can that can vary from 5 pm to as late as 7pm (or whatever). Therefore, what
I need to ask you all is this:

Isn't some script that I can modify that will execute the App as soon as
instruct Windows to log off? Then, hopefully what would happen next is that
as soon as the App exits, the log-off will complete.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

If XP Pro, use Group Policy.
