Hello,

I've created a service and installed it on my win2007 platform. I checked the "Allow to interact with desktop" checkbox. But still' it seems that my service runs in background (the service suposed to run some other application, which is supposed to be seen, but I only see it in the list of processes in the task manager).

Anyone have an idea why? Or, how can I make my application to run in the front?

Thanks!

That is the idea with a Windows Service, it runs in the background with no interaction with logged in user.
