Cursor on desktop continually switches between Normal Select and Working in
Background when a manually initiated or task manager scheduled minimized
script is running. If the cursor is positioned over an item on the desktop,
the flashing stops.
The behaviour is an unnecessary visual distraction.
It can be reproduced on demand using the following milliwait.bat script
running minimized:
@echo off
:loop
milliwait 100
goto loop
where milliwait is as follows:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
int wait_time;
OutputDebugString ( lpCmdLine );
wait_time = atoi ( lpCmdLine );
Sleep ( wait_time );
return 0;
}
