Starting a program automatically when idle

[James McMurray]

Is it possible to set windows up or use a third party service/app to start a program when the computer is idle, or even better when the internet is idle.

My wife and I share a computer that I use quite a bit of background processing on with various downloads and software building. The issue is that she shuts down my software so that it doesn't bog her down while she's working on the computer, and then forgets to start it back up. If I could find a program that would start things automatically for me after a certain amount of idle time that would be great.

Thank in advance for any help!

You can use Scheduled Tasks to do this: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d....mspx?mfr=true
