windows service run in their own session... they do not and should not interact with GUI...(normally) You can write to log files and do other processing with windows service...i dint understand this :
note pad should be get opened ??
should it be opened in GUI? or just you want to write a log to it..

it will be open... but wont be visible to the "logged in" user,assuming theres a user logged in (he wont see the notepad on his screen)... as its in a different session... if you look into task manager .. you will find notepad.exe running....you can log info into it n save it.....
