Help making the Driver Station run on logon

Hello all!
I am having some issues in trying to make the Driver Station run on the startup of the Driver account. I have tried putting a link to the program in the "Startup" folder running as administrator, and also I have looked at this post:

WARNING: I take no responsibility for any damage you do to your computer by modifying the registry. This is entirely your own choice.

1. Go to the start menu
2. Go to Accessories > Run
3. Type in regedit and click OK.
4. Once the Registry Editor is open navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon
5. Create a new String Value (Right Click > New > String Value) called Shell and set its value to the location of the driver station on your hard drive. (Should be "C:\Program Files\FRC Driver Station\Driver Station.exe")
6. Log off and back on to the driver account and the computer should enter the Driver Station automatically.

Alternatively you can use the following files I wrote (on the Driver Account) to add or remove the modification (assuming your Driver Station is installed to the default location and the computer is not a 64-bit system):
Add Modification: modify.reg
Remove Modification: heal.reg

Notice: To access the desktop on a modified account for any reason just get to the task manager with ctrl-alt-delete, go to processes, file, new task, and type in explorer.exe.

and followed the instructions (except using program files(x86) because it is a 64-bit computer). This also did not work.

Any ideas of what might be wrong or what we might do to fix this?
