When you say "They start when the computer starts, and they stop when the computer shuts down." does this mean that the consumer will launch using the same service account as the Winmgmt service? Normally the Local System account. Does this prevent interaction with a logged on user? For example, launching of IE interactively would be prevented as the consumer is running under the Local System account instead of the currently logged on user account?

Thanks,

@Matt, You are correct, we will feature PowerEvents on Wed anbd Thursday this week. Trevor has written a couple of awesome posts explaining how he came to write PowerEvents and using it. I am just laying the foundation today and tomorrow leading up to his posts. Of course there are still some folks who do not use Windows PowerShell and they will not be able to use PowerEvents, but the techniques in todays post will help them to use this powerful technique.

This is much easier to do with PowerEvents: powerevents.codeplex.com

Hope it helps!
