Sergey,
I thought of that, but unfortunately that would require code in way too many places and since this is an enhancement to a commercial product, that is unrealistic.
Thanks for the response though.

>>I've searched everything I can think of and haven't come up with a workable solution. I have a timer that controls shutting down my application. However, I don't want it to fire if the application is running a process. How can I determine if the application is just sitting there or is actively processing. I've covered for mouse movement and keyboard activity, but if they put it in the background because something big is running, the timer still fires.
