Userinit-Key: execute my own application

I have made an application in C# that has to be started right after logon. For the purpose, I use the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonUserinit' Key where I added the path to my app separated by commas.

Now I have the following problem: Logging in as administrator works fine (the program runs), but if I log in as a normal/standard user I am always automatically logged out, it seems as if the userinit.exe did not work correctly.

Does anyone know the solution? A few months ago I also made a similar app, not in C#, but C++, and it works fine with standard user accounts, too. Does the .NET Runtime cause that problem?
