I want to create a program that will close itself when the user was idle(not touching/moving the mouse and keyboard) for about 5 minutes...but I have a problem in how to track a user's idle time so that I could set the closing action. Could anyone give me a simple example?

Hi,

You can find some explanation about detecting the Idle time with Mouse and Keyboard hooks, here.

I've made it before I read your reply, anyway thanks a lot ^__^...
I will explore this too...
