Daemon-type programs

[StukA]

How would I go about writing a "daemon" type program (no window, runs in the background) for Win95/98...I know that NT/2k has services, but I'd like to be able to do this in 98....where do I start?

Maybe there autoexec.bat will help? In Win95 it worked. John Fill

Running it isn't the problem. What I need to know is how to create a program that either doesn't create a window at all, or closes it's window after it is running succesfully.

This program will exit the loop 'while' when is called PostQuitMessage(0) in any places in the your program:

#include<windows.h>
xxx f(x){DoSomeThing;PostQuitMessage(0);}
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE,HINSTANCE,LPSTR,int)
{
MSG msg;
while(GetMessage(&msg,0,0,0))DispatchMessage(&msg);
return 0;
}
is not a pproblem the following:
#include<windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE,HINSTANCE,LPSTR,int)
{
return 0;
}//a perfectly legal program what make nothing
