windows services

[sumaira]

hi,
iam trying to write a windows service that fires a IE
browser. I think the reason its not wroking because the
service runs in different windows session and idont see
the browser. if this is the case, how can i see the
browser beingfired up by my service
thanks

I though services were meant to run in the background without user
intervention.....

Anyhoo, to do this you will need to create a static inside your service
which can be called from an external program. Next you can create a
separate program that the user can run once logged in that will
interact/marshal through your class inside the service.

Wow I need to pay attention as to what im typing when im typing it. Bad
part is i actually watch the screen and read along as I type and still
accomplished making that error ;)

"create a static" ie... "create a static class"

An NT service is the wrong tool for this job. Run a program in the
user's startup folder or something like that.

"create a static" ie... "create a static class"

That still doesn't make much sense though, as there's no such thing as
a static class - could you specify exactly what you meant?
