[nvda] Re: When windows is ready...

another good point. When I know: when the windows-xp-balloon noise happens twice, but I don't know what your machine does at start up so there is no real way to tell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Gaff Lineone downstairs" <bgaff@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Subject: [nvda] When windows is ready...
Is there any way to detect when booting up that Windows is truly ready to go? I ask not just for me but from people I talk to. It seems that in XP at least, well after the screenreader has loaded, things are going on that make Windows unresponsive, jerky or do nothing at all. This is presumably due to processes like anti virus or whatever, doing stuff. Is there any way that some kind of tone could be used to detect these events, say for 30 secs after the last item in the startup list has fired? OK its probably not possible, but I gather there often are flashing icons in the tray or whatever that tend to indicate programs doing things. 

Just a thought.
