    Welcome to the forums.

    When what program starts?

    For something like this you would need a program that is running constantly and doing nothing more than checking for active processes. This is more the work of a service rather than a program.

    Well, if you want to spend a lot of time banging your head against a wall, and tearing out your hair, then go ahead an create a service using VB6.

    It can be done, but it is not for the faint hearted.

    This is something more easily accomplished using C/C++
