.NET Forum / .NET Framework / General / September 2005Interact With Desktop Service installation
Hi, I created a service application. This service, can possibly start other applications or display message boxes, so it needs to interact with the desktop. The question is the following : How can I make the "interact with the desktop" checkbox checked automaticaly when my service is installed? I looked at the ServiceInstaller and ServiceProcessInstaller classes, but none give me this option (or maybe I didn't see it). Thanks ThunderMusic_80 > I created a service application.

If no one suggests a .Net way of doing this you can check the docs for the native functions OpenSCManager(), ChangeServiceConfig() and CloseServiceHandle() and use Platform Invoke services to call them from your managed code.

The Shatter Attack (aka Shattered Windows) decribes a vulnerability used by spyware/viruses/malware to elevate privilege in order to do bad things behind your back: http://www.csnc.ch/static/download/misc/ShatterAttack_CSNC.pdf If you are not _very_ careful you put your system at risk when you run a service that can interact with the desktop. Regards, Will ok, I'll look into that... Thanks a lot... > >> P.S. You do know that running a service like this opens you up to the > >> Shattered Windows attack, yes?
