Does anyone have a suggestion about creating an application that does not have a frame window or a view?
 
Are you wanting to build a 'Service'? If so there is an API for building NT/2000 Services. You can look them up on MSDN.

If you are interested in the quickest way to generate a service, I would suggest using the ATL Service Wizard to start with. You will still probably need to understand the 'Service' API anyway and there are articles on MSDN about how to use the Wizard generated project to implement your service.

Good luck

Thanks. I'll read up on it. I had in mind a utility that sits in the tray, with a right-click (and/or left-click) menu. I can do the tray icon, but didn't know how to get rid of the FrameWnd.
