Adding service to VB.net application

[quinton nel]

Hi I've created a app for monitoring Internet access on workstations. I've created the project so that the main form's visible = false, when it detects the iexplore process it sets the visible = true and prompts the user for a session password. The problem is that my apps process is running in the Task Manager and the user can stop it from there. Thus dissabling my app. :confused::confused::confused::omg::confused::confused::confused: I want to create a service that runs in the background and then starts my app to prompt user for session password. Is this possible and how can I implement it. Should I create a seperate windows service that starts my app or should I incorporate the service into my app. quinton.nel
