It won't.  The Run key in HKLM behaves no different than the one in HKCU, 
except its contents is read-only for normal user accounts.  It's like All 
Users' startup vs. a specific user's startup.  To get WPKG running as SYSTEM 
(or any other account that's not the one logging on), you need to use e.g. the 
WPKG Client, the Group Policy Extension, a per computer domain logon script.
