Run an exe whenever a user reconnects to a disconnected user session

Question

On a windows 8 machine, how can I execute a program whenever a user reconnects to a disconnected session?

The user might walk away from the machine, and the lock screen kicks in. I would like to execute something when they login again to the disconnected session.

This is not a fresh login, but a reconnection to their existing session.

Thanks
