I'm just a boatload of questions today...

I've got my app working the way I want. Right now, I have a shortcut in
AllUsers\Startup so it starts up Minimized to the tray automatically when
any user logs on.

Is there a quick & easy way to make it a WindowsService instead? Or do I
gotta write that from scratch?
 
If you are using Visual Studio, under Visual Basic Projects, there is an
option to create a Windows Service. Assuming the application doesn't have
an interface, it shouldn't be too difficult.
