      Why would you want to do this, considering your app has to play nice with others on a SHARED system? If I was using your app and it blanked the entire screen, preventing me from using my other apps, I'd click close on your app then, promptly, uninstall it...

But making the whole screen black sound like you're trying to make a prank or get fired from your job! But it's really easy Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.BackColor = Color.Black Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized End Sub

            Your background process doesn't have to have a form. Just write up a class that does what you want and launch it from whereever you need to as a seperate Thread. Just make sure you tag that thread Background = True. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
