[DUG] Has Windows finished??

[Jeremy Coulter]

Hahaha I agree !!

 

I really still can't fathom WHY you would want an app. Like this.

 

Ok, if they are blind it might be helpful if it played a sound, but clearly
the users are a bit simple, so maybe the reward system will be the best way
forward ;-)

Is it possible that the User could be trained to look at the screen and when
major activity has stoped taking place they could start using the mouse?

 

Each time they sucessfully do this they could be given a TimTam or
something.

 

It is possible though that after this training, even just hearing the
Windows startup jingle could cause them to salivate.

 

Some fellow called Pavlova and Afghan biscuits or something comes to mind.

the app. really being hte last thing to run so to speak.

Hi

Not sure if this is possible but what you could do is have the app install
as a service that sets itself last (or late, or after whatever it is you
want to ensure has started) in the startup list.  This should give you a
good idea when everything is loaded.

Hi all.
Is there API or SOMETHING that I can call or look at that will tell me if
windows has finished "Loading". i.e. all the programs that windows has to
load have finshed loading etc. etc.
I guess I can look at the CPU usage, but not sure how good thisis. What if
one of the programs being loaded is a CPU hog because the machine is a bit
of a dog etc.

Anyone got any ideas?
