You must be using omars installer with rc1 build.
Download this.

I remember this was an issue with long wait time on the logon screen.

I decided this problem. I just sets the state of the msgina event object to signaled, another words said to msgina that my shell is ready.
If somebody wants API code, write to me.

Yep, they've solved that with newer LS builds. Whether or not it's the same fix that you've applied, I don't know. Perhaps visit the lsdev.org site and poke around the forums there?

EDIT: I see you've already done that, and Maduin helped you out with the code snippet.

You are right. Help from lsdev.org.

But this is not programmers forum, so I decided to explain it with simple words.

Just wish you had put it in the proper category then.

What do you want from me?
If I said that "I decided this problem." it doesn't mean that problem was resolved by me.
