Hi all.

Is there a way to make an app run at background? Like using "&" in
Unix? Do I must make it as a service, or use the scheduler, or is
there any other way?

For some tasks, I want to let it run even as I logoff.

I've noticed an application (norton virus scanner) can run even after
I logoff. When I logon again, I see that the app is still running. So
I guess some apps can run as a background. Which is really nice.

Thanks for any input.
 
Check out srvrany from the resource kit - lets you run pretty much any app
as a service.

Yes, a background app is called a service. Here's info on how to make your
app a service:
