I don't thin it is possible to put notepad.exe into a service. A <br>service program must support net work and support multithreads.<br><br>Notepad.exe is not a service application. If you really want to make<br>it a service app, you have to write a Service program which can <br>communicate with Notepad.exe.<br><br>It is easier to write a new application to simulate the notepade <br>functions than wrap a notepade.exe.
