I think you want to run it as an NT Service. Why don't you try JavaService and tell us how it works out . Or you could try Bill Giel's JavaServ code. A google search for Java+NT Service will get you lot's more references.

Cindy, I don't have the answer to Shawn's question, but I don't exactly see how your answer is related to the question. Running a service in Windows NT (/2000/XP) is a far different thing than showing a small icon next to the time in your address bar. As a matter of fact, I think there are almost no services which are shown as an icon, but if you install a program, say, for example: winamp, it will display a icon... Just my 2 cents. Eurocents, in my case Greetings, Erik
