Hi Alan, > is something that starts transparently with Windows
That's a service, right. > sits in the system tray and has a little GUI that you interact with and disappears to a system tray icon That part is not a service. Service can't really have an UI. Technically, there is a possibility, but for a multitude of security-related reasons this is strongly discouraged. Most applications that have a tray icon (virus scanner, fire walls, SQL server, defragmentation tools, etc.) consist of two programs, one is a service running as a priviledged account and one is a UI application that runs under the user account. Both use Interprocess Communication to exchange information. That's usually a pipe or a socket connection. -- Christof _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/f6634de8a91842c59ab550ed40dfa...@fpl5 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
