YourSpace Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 my question is can applications running as a service access the net? vis inetgetsource ect ect. can they run other applications (since they themselves have no gui) could they completley bypass a windows login screen, and windows activation and then start a custom windows shell application? and can they fully function before logon? ex: could a service retrieve info from a web page via inetgetsource and send out packets based on the data it gets while ont he login screen without the user logged on? nd lastly does a user need to authorize the application to run as a service? (on xp, and on vista) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehWhale Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Services run when you log in. So, no. You need to give it elevated privledges to set itself to a service after that, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehWhale Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Services are started when the PC is started NOT when you logon.Really? Hmm, I didn't know that, thanks for telling me Jos, I thought specific user services started at login not when the comp turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I didn't know that, thanks for telling me Jos, I thought specific user services started at login not when the comp turned on. Services are generic programs ran at PC starttime. When you look at Control panel/Aministrative tools/Services you see all services that are started. User specific stuff is started at Logon time. An AutoIt3 script can also be installled as a service and is described in the FAQ which are a sticky on this forum.Jos Edited October 25, 2008 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page  - Beta files    Read before posting   How to post scriptsource   Forum etiquette Forum Rules  Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
