Hello Wilfried,
Many thanks for the tip.
Windows XP and 2000 support multiple users, each with
a different desktop. I'm not sure how FindWindow() works
in this scenario. I remember a NT service is not in the
same WindowStation as any user desktop.
I tried your svc sample. When I have two users logged on
Win XP with Fast User Switching, the service shows a tray
icon in one of the user's desktop but not the other one.
I think the reason is what I just mentioned in the previous
paragraph.
