Dizzy Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi all! I've a slow Notebook which starts a lot of background tasks every time i boot. I want to know (better: i want to display a short message (traytip; messagebox or something like this)) when the last background-task has been loaded and the cpu is near 1-4 percent. I make a small program which will just display "Ready" in a messagebox and i've placed it in the run-section as the last entry. I named it Z-Ready-Info.exe. But - it wasn't the last one. I have to wait 2-3 minutes more .... How can i get the last action a pc takes in a boot-time? CU Dizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 have you tried putting your prog in the start-up folder.. if i am correct, that is ran AFTER the boot-up section 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My messagebox is not the last action - but nearly the last one. I have to wait 5 to 10 seconds more until the cpu is going to 2-3 percent. This is good enough for me. Thanks!

exodius Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 If you know what all of the things are that are going to load you could have a loop statement that checks to make sure all of the processes exist and when they do then to make your messagebox/traytip/whatever.
