How to make a .exe running in background

Does it need to run as the current logged-on user, or should it run even if a user isn't logged on?

Hi Chip

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

In .NET, you'd call Process.Start. See:


In C/C++, you'd call CreateProcess. Here's a sample:

I had created the file dummy.exe with the following in it.
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
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

Is there anything else I need to do ?
