        ... you spelt Notepad wrong... In your code snippet, it says: "nodepad.exe".

            Hi Coders, Here's a code which I wrote few days ago. When I run it it caused my pc hanged. I had to restart my pc for it. I was creating a windows service few days ago. In that, I put a "Timer Control". And according to it's ticks, I wanted to run my process. And, for checking purpose by mistake I wrote following Process.Start instead of EventLog.WriteEntry in my code:

            private void onTimerEvent(object sender,System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
            {
            Process.Start("notepad.exe");
            }

            It was ok till now but then I put Timer Duration to 100 milisconds!!!!!!! When I started my Service and Bllllaaaassdsstttt!!!!!!! My screen was full of NotePads.... n kept comming every 100 miliseconds!!!! until I restarted. Anand Desai Developer Atharva Infotech

                        Could've been worse:

                        private void onTimerEvent(object sender,System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e){
                        Process.Start("devenv.exe");
