    Teamviewer is a remote desktop application, it doesn't have to be this one, I'd be interested to know the following for any remote desktop application like VNC or RDP.

    I added a "Startup script" to run Teamviewer automatically but it only runs when I log in.

    Is there a way to run such a program before any log in, so that the login can be done remotely?

    Many thanks!

    This program needs to capture the user interface and interaction. How can you install any remote desktop to run before the user login?
