Need Help : using AMS commands when not main app

[2epro]

I am having trouble with people snooping around on m ypc when i am at work so i decided to create my own application to deal with it.

Ive managed to create an app that will record certain keystrokes and save them to txt file for me to read later.

Everything works fine but if u minimize or hide the app, it stops working. it seems that it must be the top application.

maybe i could make an app sized 1 height 1 width but how could i constantly keep it on top of other windows ?

or does anyone know another way to solve this problem.

Thank you

You could use on timer and System.IsKeyDown to record typed things on your computer or enumirate windows and store result on a report file, then you can leave your application minimized or on system tray to do its job.

Beside I offer you to use this software: Lock My PC

works fine until application is hidden or minimized... how to fix

Keyloggers are universally considered to be malware at best.

As an employer I would consider anyone creating such software or even knowingly running it as having committed a disciplinary offence.

As an employee I would expect my employer to fully declare the degree to which my activity was being logged or monitored outside of the standard windows log files.

The answer is to lock you PC when you leave it.
