Background process in Windows

[StanLin]

I'll be interested if someone can show me how to run a process or application in Windows in the background.

In Linux, you put the process in the background, logout and no one can tamper with the process other than pulling the plug.

In Windows, other than using a password screensaver, is there anything?

Windows isnt a multiuser operating system like linux is. I dont think you can run a user process in windows then log out and have it still run, i think when you log out windows kills all user processes.

If you're running NT, I think you might be able to have it run as a system service at boot, and it will still stay when you log out... but otherwise I'm not sure.
