not neccasarly..
the timer is set to fire ever 30 seconds
inside the timer routine I increment a static integer to count the cylcles


after 60 cycles have passed, 30 mins have gone by.


I still want to prevent people from disabling the timer
currently I can manually disable the timer using a debug program such as softice and creating a patch to actuall prevent the timer from loading


but that's too advanced for most users
I just want to prevent a majority of users from sending messages down the message scope to my application and disrupting my timer routine.


any ideas?
