IDEA: Public PC Timer

(1/4) > >>

thankusan:
On windows startup a countup timer started in a floating window(unclosable). On an idle time of say 5 minutes(option for setting) the timer resets to 00:00:00. and starts countup on pc activation (keyboard or mouse movement). The timer 'on' and 'off' time is logged into a file. An option to hide(not disable) screensaver settings. A password protection would be added to this program to improve security.

togikun:
What would be the purpose of such a program? To just see how long every single person uses the computer?

thankusan:
The purpose is exactly the same. A desktop blocking screen or screensaver could be added on startup as well as on idle time so one could enter his name which will be further logged into the log file.

thankusan:
To avoid confusion the idea may be shortened, ie; a timer which resets on idle time and starts again on pc activation.

jgpaiva:
Ok, here it is.

Attached to this post, there are 2 versions of the scipt:
A compiled version wich has the 5 minutes of idle time hardcoded, and
The source code, which has the 5 minutes configurable though the variable "timetoReset", in minutes. (fractions can be used)

If you'd like to change the 5 minutes to something else, download and install autohotkey, edit the .ahk file with notepad, and change the 5 to something else.
