Not sure how to better describe this post in my title, if anyone can think of something better, please suggest.

For the actuall post.

I have an antivirus program which takes a variable amount of time to run. Then, I want to have my computer run a registry mechanic. Finally, I want my computer to run Disk Defragmenter. I have had no issues with doing this myself and letting it run overnight, but some people are less computer literate, and want their computers to not become bogged down with viruses. Also, it wuld be a useful little tool in terms of efficiency. The only problem is that all of these programs run for variable amounts of time, depending on the integrity of the computer in question.

Originally, I used a code that was similar to:

you could detect it various ways.

First, use ControlClick to hit the scan button

you could use WinWait's WinText parameter to watch for a particular message on the window
you could use ControlGet to try and read the progressbar's value
