How can I create a service? Thanks

[Guest_imported]

I would like to create a service so that it will launch automatically my aplication at the start of windows, and because I dont want the user to know that it's running unless he looks for it on purpose, could someone help thanks a lot.

Look at the ntsvc.ocx file from Microsoft. It will enable you to convert a standard VB application to run as an NT service (or Win2k). Here is the link . . .

HOWTO: Use NTSVC.OCX from Visual Basic

And it's a great little control, since it ALSO allows you to write entries into the NT event log, even if you don't use it to run your program as a service. I highly recommend it.
