prevent uninstalling services
i have 2 services which constantly monitoring one another. if user wants to stop any one of them another service starts that once in no time. so user can not stop that services. but if user give "sc" command from dos window, he can uninstall those services. all of my users are administrator in there own pc. they are using xp sp3.
now my question is, can i apply any trick so that user can not uninstall those services from their pcs?
my services are developed in vb.net 2005.
thanx

I agree with able.
There is no way to GUARANTEE that the service will not be uninstalled. Take Safe Mode, for instance. If a user is determined enough, your hosed, period.
But monitoring able's suggestions will go a long way to making it VERY difficult.
