>I am in the process of converting a sys tray application to a windows service, because the sys tray app will only run if someone logs into the computer (i have added it to the startup folder) so if there is a blackout (or brownout) causing the computer to restart the systray app will not start again until machine is logged in. With a windows service the service can start without a user logging in. Anywho it is a better choice in my scenario. Just my $0.02.

Yes, but this is being run from my development PC where I am working on it on a daily basis. So, it will run. :)
