In ppc apps, if a form is not shown by the end of app_start sub then the ap closes....

I have planned a similar app, but never got to code it, but you could make it as a ghost app with a splash screen, that after showing it self, got sent to background by hiiding it....

If shuch app was palced in the startup folder, then it would be launched every time the device was turned on (not awaken, for that you need to use a lib to detect external events)...
