[AccessD] shutting down

It captures all mouse and keyboard events.... know of any other user
actions in an Access Application?

It, of course, wouldn't immediate know if a VERY long process was
running, but that would merely be a matter of setting another flag for
processes known to take the length of time you set your inactivity timer
too.
