Hy u'all
Im looking for a way to start an application (SBClient) at user logon but before the desktop, or explorer.exe loads. The idea is for the users to enter data on the application before they are allowed to continue working on Windows. I could write a script that stops explorer.exe, loads the application but, how can the script know when the user is finished entering data. The application runs with explorer.exe stopped.

This would make my bosses year.
Thanks

Does the application continue to run once the data is in? I would guess 'yes' otherwise it would be easy to monitor the apps processes and load up explorer once they were out.

Can you write a shell that would kill Explorer, get the key data that they have to input, then load the app and explorer and feed the data into the app? Even using something as clunky as vbscript shell.sendkeys would work.

add a delimiter of some sort or ASCII character string that would signal the end of the script/data entry and start explorer.

The data would be imposible to send to the application since the users are entering time sheets,(number of hours worked by client by job) so the data is not consistent.
Thanks
