Windows can be configured to automagically log a user in without them having to enter their password, so the app doesn't necessarily have to be a service, however making it a service may be advantageous if you can set it as dependant on something, although I dont know which service it could depend on as the plug'n'play / pcmcia services may have started but not necessarily finished their configuration of the peripheral. -- Jon Baker -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
