Thanks very much Roger and jr` . I thought of running it as a service but was afraid it would take a lot of resources to continue checking, and unless it checked very often , I was afraid it wouldn't be very immediate. I think I will put something in that order together for now though, until I fully grasp the page jr` linked to.
This might be a little more work than I am ready to do to avoid double clicking a desktop icon though...
