[DUG] Stopping particular services, alternative to services.

[Kyley Harris]

Any application can easily be designed to run as an App, or as a Service.
Your issues will be with where the code sits. If your business logic is tied
to a gui framework its going to be hard to run the app without a user
session to talk with.

I create all my service apps as duals, so that its easy to test in
development stages.

If you are trying to make an existing app "work" then you need to look
thoroughly at how it works. You mentioned you need networking. If user A for
example has a mapped drive H: = \\one\folder then this wont be available to
your service, unless something was setup especially. You also have to make
sure that the service has privileges for the folders, and network resources
you are wanting to use.

I have often got caught by niggly little things such as forgetting that a
subst drive etc is a user context, and then passed it as a parameter :)

It will run as whatever the service runs as.
Why not launch a thread rather than an app?

If a service launches an app when there is no one logged in - does that 
app have the same rights as the service (ie, system)?
