We all know for minutes (not real minutes as wee all know) passing by as windows installs...

I was wondering if anyone knows where does windows store this value (if it stores it at
all), or by what other method could i get (find) out this value (for my detached program)...

Other ideas are also welcome...

This should be posted at

try the Unattended Guide- your new best friend!

specifically
Billboards
see "New Style" and "Classic", depending on what you use.

..sinceraly, Fu<k 0ff with this kind of a response, thank you.

I'm not aksing to change theme or what ever;
I need the integer value of the remaining time which
it displayed in the left pane of the windows billboard.

It says, for example: 37 minutes.

I need this value as an integer value,
or any hints on the methods how to determine how is this value calculated.

Just for the record, I'm building my own billboard.
And yes, I did misplaced my topic, but since I can't delete
my own topic, I assumed some moderator would move it.

Yep I reckon ya should have a license to post...

what, because of my shout?

No I't wasn't directed @ you. I was however a bit overwhelmed by the first response to your post. Maybe I shouldn't think aloud.

sorry, misread what you were asking. Your 2nd post with more info on what you meant helped... except for the 1st part (see quote).

/k0 Fu<ks Off

I forgive you...

You see, your post seemed to me like you were flaming me for my post...
..excuse my rage at that particular moment...

NOTE: For God's sake, will some moderator move this topic to a billboard section...please!

np, buletov- I was actually searching for something I know I saw here when I saw your post, and half-read it.
And to keep from the usual post of "chk the guide", I included the direct links.
I will read all posts 3x (or more) before I post.
Sorry again...

*but, I'm still gonna Fu<k Off today... it's my day off

yes that number can be changed / edited and its in the winntbbu.dll but i cant remember what file line its at,, if some one dosnt post the answer to you ill try to find it in my files,

well i know it's there somewhere, but i'm eager to find out how to export
it to an external application;

if i could hach winntbbu.dll somehow to put it in the registry or something...
but i sincerally doubt that this is possible...
