Hi Udhaya!

Fantastic! i love this topic. Wat you are actually tryin upon is to make a program which shall be memory resident and performs behind the applications. Hmmm.. Wat you can actually do is type in your program in Turbo C compiler. Then, compile it. You shall now have an EXE file in the output directory. in order to make it execute simultaneous to system log on, you shall have to include the .EXE file into the Autoexec.BAT file. Please note that the .EXE file also has to be included into the sytem32 sub-directory of windows directory. Now how you shall include the .EXE file into the Autoexec.BAT file, I think this shouldnt be a problem. Just open the .BAT file in system32 sub directory and see the way several .EXE files are included. Copy one such statement and replace the file name by your .EXE file name. nonetheless, you should have the .EXE file in the system32 sub directory.

think thats enough to keep you from executing your files the way u wish them to. This is actually the way TSR's work. (Terminate and Stay Resident).

Let me know if it helps you.

under XP you can schedule programs to start when you want.
click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and Scheduled Tasks
you then add a scheduled task

Try doing a search of your computer - mine is not located in system32 either.

horace's idea is easier and will accomplish the same thing - or are you trying to make this program some sort of daemon?
