Hi,<br />
I have 2 questions:<br />
1) Is it possible to launch an interactive GUI application from a Windows service so that &nbsp; &nbsp; the app runs as a normal app (not service)?<br />
<br />
2) When I launch cmd.exe from a Windows service application, the cmd.exe becomes a service. Can I safely terminate it (taskkill without /F option)? Or is there another way how to terminate it?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
John
