>Thanks for the input, Brian. I think I see how I could do that, although I would need to break out some of the underlying functionality from the interface. I was hoping to do something like Norton Anti-Virus does, or Matrox with their QuickDesk utilities. They are loaded as a service, present an interface, and are not in the startup folder. Any thoughts?? I just might not be able to use the app as is...

Do you have the application launch with Interact With Desktop attributes for the service? Just wondering if that might help.
