Is this possible? I want to create a service that when i start it, it runs media player and starts playing audio. When you stop it.........it stops. I followed the microsoft way that creates the service, and then add the application key to the registry, the service starts, but alas, not sound, and wmplayer.exe does pop up in processes. I then changed the keyu to run a batch file and same result. If i run the batch file from command prompt it works.

Any ideas?

i dont think it can be done in an NT envoirnment. the sounds / gui is only avalible when the user logs in to see it.

do you just want to be playing tunes when the machine is on or something?
