I have a Windows Service I am trying to get to work, which is not working
correct, but one of the things it does is start Notepad.exe.
The program seems to be doing this and it shows in the Tasklist, but I don't
see it running. When I kill it from the Tasklist, it starts back up again
(it shows in the Tasklist), but again I can't see it.
Why is that?
Thanks,
Tom

By default windows services do not interact with the desktop. This is
by design and usually you do not want a service to have a UI.

I want to add comments to my code and have them show up in the Task List.
When I enter lines like the following, they do not appear in the TaskList.
// TODO Fix this function.
What could be preventing these items from showing up in the TaskList?
FWIW: using VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Architect.
Thanks in advance.

I have created a windows service called MyService. I followed the MSDN sample code to add the following code but it did not work. What I tried was that to start another or external program when MyService starts. I used notepad.exe as an example of a program to be called when MyService starts. I have tried both in the InitializationComponenet() then in the OnStart() Method but none of them work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all,
Requesting help from the VB.Net gurus in here. I was given a task to write
a Windows Service (VB.Net) that would run an external program, and if that
program closed for any reason (other than the service being stopped) it
would restart it. I have written the service to do just this, and for
testing purposes I am running the program Notepad. And I even have it
making entries in the System Event Log.
However, and this is my...

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
