How to write a windows program that replaces password authentication on logon screen

I'm looking for a way to replace the windows text password login. My app should be launched automatically and ask the user a few questions, if everything is correct than the user should be allowed to be logged in.

I don't my that a text password will be submitted by my app in the background. the environment is very similar to face recognition/finger print recognition login.

Where should i start? (:

Thanks

BEWARE: it might be difficult to do this in .NET, you most probably will need to code a native solution (C/C++ for example).
