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

Well, I think the problem is that many other bits of software are run at start up and the fact that Windows desktop is up and some keyboard interaction is possible is no guarantee that it won't all freeze for seconds at a time depending on how much processor the still initialising routines are using at the time.
I never get any balloon noises, they are just irritating. its only therefore when things go wrong that i hear them.

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.

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.
