>According to Cart, the above code immediately shuts down the program ( which it is designed to do, but only where the user has NOT done any keyboard or mouse entry during the past set time interval ( 1 minute to 15 minutes ). This code is in the Timer event, and immediately shuts the program down under Windows 8, where under Windows 7 or XP, waits until the set time ‘interval’ is exceeded, then shuts down. If the user does a keyboard entry or moves the mouse, then the time ‘interval’ is reset again and the process starts over.
