Always-on process - like an NT service

[Dave Wasden]

I am developing an application that I would like to allow users to share
files using IrDA whenever the device is on. I want to start my listener
process to run whenever the handheld device is booted so if a user goes into
my app on another device and "beams" a file to it, the first device will pop
up a message to confirm the transfer, even if the software is not running on
that device. Is there a better way to do this? If not, how do I make the
listener.exe that I create run whenever the device is running?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Pretty basic, huh?

Thanks for your response,

I did some searching, and didn't find any documentation on this. It sounds
interesting. Let me know if you know of any documentation that will get me
started. Thanks for the idea.

The technical artical that has the information is called "Designing a Custom
UI Shell for Microsoft Windows CE 3.0 Embedded Systems". It's under the
section called developing and installing a custom shell. You should be able
to find it on MSDN
