New Process in WinXPHi all,
I want to create a window system service that sits on the background and just fire another service/executable (i.e, notepad) every time a new user fast switches to a new session. How can I start a new process in another user sessions in WinXP using .NET 1.1 or 2.0? also how can detect the event of user fast switch to a new session? thanks in advance... Hi Ahmed,
As for user logon/logoff events, you can use System Event Notification Manager (see MSDN docs on the ISensLogon and ISensLogon2 interfaces). As for running a process as a user, you can probably use the CreateProcessAsUser API, but I am not sure how do you obtain the logged on user's token.

The user identity might not be important to me. I wonder if there is nay security constraints that a local system service could start another executable whenever another user logins or fast switch to a session? Do you think ignoring the user identity would make it any easier to implement?

"Local system" can be an account with quite restricted rights (for example, AFAIR it cannot access the network). So you may wish to consider running your service at least under the "NETWORK SERVICE" account or even a more privileged account.
