      Most Services are basically normal applications, they can be run as a specific user account or quite often as the 'LocalSystem' account. There are obviously security issues running as LocalSystem, including the fact that you cannot access network shares easily (without impersonating another user). It's not the Service which is either Kernel or User mode, it's the code itself, e.g. Most code will be User mode but things like EnterCriticalSection() can cause a switch to Kernel mode if necessary. regards,
