How to start windows service before desktop appears?
Hello. I'am using windows service (which I have writen in C#) to control PC's at internet cafe. It performs desktop lock by creating new desktop and switching to it. The problem is that this service starts only some time after desktop is shown (i'am using autologon). Smarter kids found the way to disable my service by running multiple intstances of quake3 (whose shortcut is found on desktop) so windows runs out of virtual memory and my service never starts. Is there a way to start service before desktop appears, or somehow earlier ? I'm using windows xp. Thanks in advance.

Any service that is set to run as a system service and not by an administrator will do that.
