Hi!

My thoughts about creating a software inv. system using kix, the key issue is fast as i want to run this as the last part of the loginskript and not hog the machines to much.

In Windows XP the most frequently used programs reside in the start menu (with the normal XP layout), how many programs that are listed is the users choise.

I am thinking about logging it, looking for non-workrelated programs as sol.exe and numerous of others (i could do pattern matching as well). To make it effective i would set the number of programs on start menu to 15 or similar as part of the loginscript.

Questions that come to mind:
  • Is it possible to use the "Classic Start Menu" (and force it) of the startmenu while Windows XP still logs the most frequently used applications? (if not, the users will notice that their games etc turn up in the startmenu and delete them)
  • Are these two the only keys of importance? (HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
    Code:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\LastVisitedMRU

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

  • This isnīt logged in Windows 2000 and NT right? (i donīt belive so but i wish they where )

    What do you think? I think that it will be fast and give me about as much information as i need while following the K.I.S.S. rule.. Am i onto something?
