Hey Guys,

I am beggining to get sick of certain people using my PC on the off chance i walk away for a few seconds.

I was wondering whether there is a function that will close the browser if someone types in a certain email address to a website.

Now i have not used autoIT in a very... VERY.. long time... so yeah.. i'll figure out the rest i just need a head start.

Say if someone goes to facebook and begins to type there email address in, is it possible to force a browser shut down after a certain point of the typed email address?

Would appreciate your help.

Cheers,

Kyle.

Just get used to do WINKEY+L before walking away.

In theory yes. practically? not exactly the most desirable outcome.

Easier than creating an application.

It seems the problem is limited to a certain number of users, so why not tell them to stop? Monitoring an email address can easily be worked around, by simply changing the settings on the website. I would suggest looking at adding the offending sites that you don't want to be visited to the HOSTS File and then create a program that when executed add the sites to the HOSTS File and then on close delete the sites. Or search the Forum...I did and found this

Well obviously using the word "stop", or "don't" was my first reaction but siblings do not always (they never do) listen to you.

Thanks for the link.. it looks promising.
