How to make a .exe running in background
(OP)
I want a .exe (say for example dummy.exe) run in the background. It should apprear in process tab of Task Manager. It should basically do nothing...just run in the background...may be running an infinite loop until I close the program....
Does anyone know how to do this in Win XP (service pack 2).

It should run as the current logged-on user. There is no need to run even if a user isn't logged on.

Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
process.StartInfo.FileName = dummy.exe;
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = C:\Am;
process.Start();
When I double click on dummy.exe it gives the follwoing error message.
C:\Am\dummy.exe
