I apologize if this is here somewhere but I haven't found it. I recently installed IE7 in XP-Pro with FP3. When my screen saver (SETI) would go to the blank screen and I would awaken it I could do one or two things and then it would hang. No Ctrl>Alt>Delete, nothing. Power off and back on, it would come back. Said to heck with IE7 and installed Firefox -- same thing. I've disabled SETI but once it goes blank and I try to awaken it -- hang. I figure it must be a WIN-DOZE issue as it's doing the same thing with IE and Firefox. Suggestions appreciated!!

Basically I need some way for my application to be able to detect if explorer launched it in response to it being in the startup folder and the user logging in. I would like to be able to distinguish between explorer launching my application at startup, and the user clicking the link in the startup folder (this precludes using a simple command- line parameter). I'd like something similar to keyAELaunchedAsLogInItem kAEOpenApplication AppleEvent (http://developer.apple.com/ documentation/Carbon/Reference/Apple_Event_Manager/Reference/ reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/keyAELaunchedAsLogInItem).
