    How do you paint text on the Desktop like as if your going into Safe Mode in Windows.

    Simple Thanks and Regards, Brandon T. H. Programming in C and C++ now, now developing applications, services and drivers (and maybe some kernel modules...psst kernel-mode drivers...psst). Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. - Thomas Edison

      Something like this?

        No not like that, sorry I wasn't being really specific, I mean't like this. See where the labels "Safe Mode" on each corner of the monitor or screen, I want something exactly like that, but in order for it take effect once programmed, you need to reboot your computer. EDIT: Maybe what you told me is correct, I probably have to get a handle to the desktop of the computer desktop, then "fire in" the code. :-D

          Maybe they use transparent windows onto which is written the text.

          The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
