Hi,
I'm developing a service that should run infinitely and should not be
stoppable. The
user (any user even admin) should not be able to stop/terminate the
service.
Is there any way? or should I go for a normal other than service?
Any recommendations are appreciated.
thanks

AFAIK, the only way to do what you want would be to use Windows Embedded
(XP) an build a system image that does not include the Control Panel and
other access to the Administrator Tools -- I suspect that there is no
practical way to do it otherwise.

I think there must be a way by which you can override your StopService
function(I don't know the signature of the function but I am talking about a
function which is called whenever somebody stops the service!!) and just
ignore the stop command.
