Services, Winlogon and Default Desktop

[gregory.holmes]

I'm using a 3rd party API which runs as a Windows service on the XP
Embedded
OS I have developed. The information states that the service starts
during
system boot and launches two copies of the same executable. These
attach to
the Winlogon and default desktop via Microsoft's SetWindowsHookEx API.

My XPe OS uses the Windows Logon component so I'm okay about that but
could
anyone explain about the Default Desktop and how the exe runs under
that? Is
it due to separate accounts being active at the same time?

Many Thanks for your reply
