I was bored, so I decided to write a VB code that would prevent you from

shutting down a VB app. It has worked in most of my tests, but has failed

sometimes. It involves shelling the app once it has been closed down:

1) Create a new Standard EXE in vb (I'm using vb6 professional edition)

2) Copy this and paste it into the form that you want to keep open (i.e

Form1) you can change this to suit your needs

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)

Shell app.path & "" & app.exename

End Sub

You can also use:

Private Sub Form_Unload

to initialize the code when you shutdown.

3) Add in the rest of your code and create an exe

4) Run the program and press CTRL+ALT+DEL Close the program and watch as

it springs back into life!! There are ways around it, but computer idiots

will not be able to close it...
