You could add a timer which checks every 5 minutes or so for the existance of a file. If the file is there you could set the coverage on. If the file is no longer there, set the coverage off

That's how I get every user out of an application. The timer checks for a folder 'Down'. If it's there I close all forms and quit. If it is there when they start the app up, the app quits

None, as far as I know, it only stores window positions and the like

Best set resource OFF in your case
