Hi Stefan,

If I understand correclty, you want to determine the system idle time, not just inactivity in your application. Then, in Win2000 and up you might want to try the GetLastInputInfo() Windows API func. The function requires the use of STRUCTures. For Win98/Me and earlier, here is an article that might help, with VC++ 6.0 source code included http://www.codeproject.org/dll/trackuseridle.asp .

HTH,
