nitekram Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Only thing that I have found is - harddrive light indicator turns off and mouse changing from hour glass to arrow you might take a look at this function MouseGetCursor - it might be used in a startup script that runs and lets you know once the mouse has stopped waiting? 2¢ All by me:"Sometimes you have to go back to where you started, to get to where you want to go." "Everybody catches up with everyone, eventually" "As you teach others, you are really teaching yourself." From my dad "Do not worry about yesterday, as the only thing that you can control is tomorrow."

KaFu Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here's a STARTUP ORDER FOR WINDOWS NT4/2000/XP. Seems like programs in "Startup Folder" are started the last. I now just assume (test it yourself ) that a program (e.g. your AutoIt-Script) started as something like ZZZ.exe in the "Startup Folder" (AutoIt macro @StartupDir, maybe use this with FileCreateShortcut() to place just a shortcut ZZZ there) would be the very last program to autostart.

kaotkbliss Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 This thread is giving me an idea for a script to help my GF (although it may piss her off... Her pc takes a bit to load, however, as soon as her taskbar shows up, she attempts to open IE to browse the web. This causes IE to stop responding and in the meantime, she has clicked IE a few more times. Needless to say, it ends up causing the pc to finish booting and "catch" up to all the events a lot longer than it should. Using the ideas here, I could easily write a script to block input until it's done loading 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!

KaFu Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I thought about it and I guess the best would be to combine my approach with LarryDalooza's one, as some programs might have a real long startup time. E.g. Lotus Notes has a hell of a long startup time, so even if it would be started from the StartUp Folder before our custom ZZZ.exe timer, it would not have finished loading by the time ZZZ.exe is called .
