ShellExecute isn't part of the VCL, so you *shouldn't* need to synchronize it.
You do, however, need possibly to run the service under Administrator credentials and the "Allow Service To Interact With Desktop"-option set.

I have a normal app that works. But in converting to a service, I can't get ShellExecute to work. Any one have any ideas or tips for me?
