A service basically requires it to be run in a thread, so you could also just run it in a thread.

I had considered running it as a service, but I think the apps may be a little too complex to be simple services - I don't know all that much about creating service applications. Meanwhile, I continued to look for a solution and found that if I override WndProc and call the UDP component's Destroy method in this procedure I am able to log off: procedure TForm1.WndProc( var Msg: TMessage); begin inherited WndProc(Msg) ; if Msg.msg = WM_QUERYENDSESSION then begin //Msg.Result: = 1; //showmessage( 'End session'); NMUDP1.Destroy; //Close; end; end; The commented-out lines represent my previous forlorn efforts. Anyone see inherent dangers here?
