I see it can now work with the login screen. Good job. Will this also work with 
the portable version once it has been started and you log out?
To restate the answer that has already been given: no. As has also been stated, this is because a service must be installed by an administrator to work. This is not just a Windows limitation; it is also done for security. The login screen is a "secure" screen, meaning that no user application should be able to access it. Otherwise, user applications could obtain user passwords very easily. As to adding registry keys, the portable version is supposed to run without administrative privileges and without leaving any trace on the system, both of which would be invalidated by such a change.
