No no I don't think it should be activated with out special coding.
I was just stating that the function I wish to instantiate should not
conflict with anything because currently nothing happens.

What I am planning is a windows background manipulator.
and the way I want to activate it is by clicking on an unused area.

That means I could click literally anywhere on the clear desktop and
start MY app.  (Kinda special)

This means I need a small program that is running in the background
that is waiting for a double click in a clear area.
then I spawn my main program

Hope this makes it a bit clearer
