Hi Sascha,
you should try to start your Programm via the Registry ( like a second
DisplayManager).
The corrct spot in the Registry as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\FoxNTAppService\Applic
ations
Here you can add a Key for your Application. Appz started there are using
the NT shell. I hope that can
help you.
regards guenther
