Having explored this some more it appears to be possible in Win XP at
least.

1. For example 
http://www.ifdef.com/support/kb_article.asp?article_id=Q0202041612&
indicates they have a solution? For a $6K product I hope the would!

2. I have a process (BCB6 Application) that simply logs to a file every
5 seconds.

User1 and User2 have sysadmin rights. If I use the Windows scheduler to
start this process at system start up as user1. I then log on as User2
- I can see the log entries incrementing. I then log off for a period
and then log back on as User2. The log does not contain any gaps which
seems to indicate that the process kept running while User 2 was logged
off.

The problem I have with this is that the process is not visible either
logging on as User1 or User2. I'm still working on this problem and any
help would be much appreciated.

thanks 
Paul
