    That can be valuable but I find it awkward to name my application as such... Is there any other way?

    Re: HOW: Starting a service/process that cannot be stopped/ended.

    I am still after this. My idea is to initiate another process and those process would 'monitor' each other such that when one is killed then the other one will just re-start it, I am contemplating on how should I go about this and would like to have your opinions.

    Doesn't Windows have a set as service option?

    Thanks but I already know how to start a service using srvany but I am encountering some odd behavior with the application when it is turned into a service so I am still looking for alternatives.

    Make sure all your user interface controls / forms etc are removed... services don't like them..

    Have you tried to attach the debugger to see whats going on?

    We have a similar setup where our service mysteriously stops when the backup is running... we also have a monitoring service that restarts the failed service.
