Creating a service for the Win9x family!
Hi All
I've succeeded in getting my application(tcp/ip) to load on startup by placing a shortcut to it in the registry. The problem is if I Log OUT of the current profile , windows kills my "service", along with all the other open applications.
Thats no way for my service to behave, as it is vitally important for said application to never be unloaded, much like an NT service.
So to break it up.
I need a way to maintain application existance while logging off and on to different profiles under Win9x operating systems.
cheers,
L

Hi BWarmusKerken,
My shortcut is already at that location.
I think, maybe the application might have to be modified some how to avoid being removed when the user logs off.
Any Ideas?

Much Thanks BWarmuskerken!
It worked!
Consider the 100 points yours.
For another 50 points (totaly your choice and your question), can you tell me how i could write the
"RegisterServiceProcess(Ge
An API that simply identifies the OS as being pure 32 bit or a cleverly written if statement that checks the validity of the kernel object being referenced and returns true or false.
As I don't want to use the "on error" trapping method.
Thanks again.
