How can I intercept a mouse click event for Win XP or Win Vista in VB.NET

Asked by bd9000 in Visual Studio, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, .NET Framework 2.x

Tags:

I am writing a windows service (non-forms based) that needs to intercept ANY mouse click made (anywhere) in Windows XP or Windows Vista (in C# or VB.NET).  I don't need the coordinates or anything like that, just need to know if either mouse button was clicked so that the service will intercept the click (without affecting any other program running) and play a "click" noise.
I'm not sure where to begin on this one (the Internet has tons of stuff on events WITHIN a forms program, but nothing outside).
