Re: Windows Welcome Screen
Services dont have user interfaces. Why would it need to run in Safe Mode? Thats not what its for.
Re: Windows Welcome Screen
Well, for one thing, I have a program called FireDaemon that lets me run any other application as a Windows Service. I have created programs before that DO have a visible GUI and still run as Windows Services.
Secondly, I want to still have control over what's going on. Say a hacker gets hold of this computer. I want to still be able to block websites and other stuff. This is more of a security program. One to run hidden from the user. I don't necessarily want to display a form in safe mode Windows Welcome, but I want to BE ABLE to do so. To have my program running.

You can't run your application in safe mode, hence why it's called safe mode because it runs only the nessercary system stuff.
If you do want to do it, it sounds miscellaneous.
Re: Windows Welcome Screen
It IS possible. I don't know how, but it is possible. There is another program that has a dll name BSafeFltr.dll. When I boot up in safe mode it is one of the files loaded. It is still running in the background!
Re: Windows Welcome Screen
I don't know for a fact but I doubt that you could do what you want to do in VB.NET. Applications like that need to work with the OS at a low level and VB just isn't built for that. You would end up writing a fair chunk of you app as Windows API declarations. I'm not saying that it can't be done in VB; just that it shouldn't. Vb wasn't built for that sort of thing so if you want an application like that that works then it should be written in unmanaged C++.
