Ummm, Ok, thanks for the response, but the program is...

<bof>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
   sleep( 5 );
}
<eof>


# gcc t.c -o t -Wl,--subsystem,windows

Starting this from explorer results in a 5 second busy hour glass and (of
course), explorer is unresponsive until the program ends.

Thanks

no its about what resources you are accessing. system resources provoke
a (in my knowledge) an arrow+hourglass and file resources provoke an
hourglass. I know for a fact its about what you are doing.
