Both new to me Martin, any clue on how to use them?

Not sure if this will solve your problem, but WizTools looks at two things:

clientID contains "MPV", means this process is running as a MVP
The settings section in the config file indicates whether this MACHINE is running as a client.

Not sure what clientID returns if it is a PCH (I don't have one), but if you find out, post the result, I'd like to know in order to publish that method as well...

I posted my PCH test here http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...ostcount=7

Alex those are just simple booleans so you can use them in conditions.

@JavaWiz and Martin - thanks for the suggestions guys... I'm already using GetClientIdentifer() and I'm using Martin's code too.

I've now established that GetClientIdentifer() returns the full client address (including the MAC address for MVP, NMT) as soon as the user selects any menu item or the screensaver kicks in - and since I guess not much will have happened before either of those events, I can live with that.
