Hi.  Newbie here.  I also just found AutoHotKey and mess around with coding a few utilities.  What I noticed right away when I got my Vista PC was(and it's still true in W7 beta) that defrag is in the task scheduler to run at idle.  What I also found out was, it didn't care if a 3rd party defragger was already running. It just kicked right in because CPU % usage was low and I wasn't typing at the keyboard.

So I'm looking for a programmable launch utility(or clues how to code it myself) that would not kick off the target program unless disk access was below some adjustable parameter for some set amount of time.  I'm not looking for a way to tame the disk usage once the app starts since I know that's not a good place to try to mess around.  I just don't want a defragger or some disk intensive app to launch while I'm defragging or doing a video conversion or muxing etc..

I'd appreciate any pointers.
