In other words, if plus IS running before the user uses your loader, then don't kill plus with your loader. I didn't mean "just killing the process", cause you do it right. (well actualy that other program does ) It was bad choice of words on my part, sorry...
* Just put all the needed files in the same directory with your loader. Zip the whole bunch. No installer needed realy. Just instructions to unzip everything in the same directory.
* If you look at the VBScript code in one of those threads, you'll get a pretty good idea of how doing things with it. It's very easy. For the things you don't know: www.google.com (and you don't need all those extra files with it.)
* The loader works fine as is. This means if you use it to startup Plus and MSN Messenger; so without the use of skins, other directories, windows messenger, etc...
* The thing I mean with choice is this: CHOICE.COM /CY /TY,4
execute it and press a random key, now the 4-sec delay and auto-select is disabled en choice waits until you press the right key.
* "the way I use it right now is right after msgplus and then msn messenger is load msgplus is then killed...so msgplus is only running for 4secs.. " -> ic, so I take it that you removed the "/w" parameter...
AFAIK - the loader i made didnt have a problem with polygamy
- it only terminated the msgplus.exe the loader itself had loaded and waited until all windows messengers and msn messengers had terminated. The only things i didnt take into account was the fact plus can be terminated immediately - no real reason to do this especially in a polygamy environment and that the names of the msn/wm executables may not be the default due to skinning etc. both of which would take 10 minutes work to have fixed. If anyone wants the source to what i made, you can have it
