sure but...

[David C.]

using an API may help,
but looking for an API never used, when you don't even know if it exist is
not very easy.

I mean, not for me.
API or not, I hope someone know how to to it OR know where to look for it.

because I don't

Please keep your follow-up in the original thread.

Look at:

for some ideas.

Hi David,

If your intention is to elicit assistance rather than testing the reader's
cryptology skills, it is a good idea to (a) use a more informative subject
line and (b) stay in your original thread from whence, courtesy of Vasant,
the API suggestion emanated.

and on the same site, for a comprehensive lising of API's:

never tried it, but I just happened to read a page about it a few days
ago:

using windows management instrumentation.
