That one doesn't count. 'When' is not a conjunction when used in that context.

Nor is it in any other. For it is not one at all. And not about to become one. But that shouldn't bother me. Or make me give up hope. Yet it seems hopeless. So perhaps I should reconsider.Danger said:That one doesn't count. 'When' is not a conjunction when used in that context.

I hope you take no offense when I write this, but so far I'm not comfortable putting any faith in your guidance. I'll leave it with the college level books I looked at.
In any case, thank you for tagging along.

Well, I was going with a subordinator. Look under "Subordinating Conjunctions" at http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/conjunctions.htm -and notice two examples that begin sentences.
Also, from the earlier referenced dictionary:
when conj. (sense 4): During the time at which; while: When I was young, I was happy.
edit: Geeze. I can't believe I spent all this time on conjunctions. *needs a life*
It's your fault Danger. You should have just slapped me silly and offered me a beer.
