behind the Iron curtain

[gilk]

I'm trying to run a housekeeping script that executes cleanup,defrag and some other tasks at night. For safety reasons I want all the active windows to close (unless there is unsaved files, in which case I want the script to terminate). the problem is that the computers lock i.e. the Win2K login screen is activated.

I tried the following :

for $j=1 to 5

For $i = 1 to 20 Step 1

$title=WinGetTitle("")

if $title="Program Manager" then ExitLoop(1) ;;; prevent shutdown

WinClose($title)

$success=WinWaitClose($title,"",10)

if $success=0 then ExitLoop(1) ;;;; to prevent loss of unsaved files

Next

Next

it works when the computer is not locked, but will not do the job when locked.

I don't want to use winkill because it may cause loss of unsaved files

advice anyone ?

Hey DirtyBanditos,

Thnx for the tip - it is useful for other stuff I'm thinking of, but it doesn't solve the main problem i.e. closing active windows (not the OS , but the applications) when the computer is locked

All the best
