I need something that will tell me when all the programs that run at startup
have finished.

Can't you tell already?.. you must surely know what will start up and what
won't..

I've got a Batch file that runs at startup. It is important that I don't do
something before it runs. It can sometimes take up to a minute or longer
after I boot before the batch file runs. On my system the busy cursor
doesn't run for most of the time until the batch file runs. I am using
Windows XP.
