Hi all,
Having made a service of an XWindow manager using FireDemon, I now have the problem of the splash screen and the taskbar button.
I would like to know if anyone has and ideas how to remove the taskbar button and stop the splash screen appearing.
The splash screen isn't really a concern however the taskbar button is.
I need to be able to use this so I can use the Unix servers/programs at Uni as though they are part of my computer.
Makes coding and other uni work much easier.
TIA.
PS - I have tried telling the service not to interact with the desktop but then the remote programs to not pop up, hence defeating the purpose of the exercise.

How do you make your own service? I have been trying to find this out for weeks! Let me know. Thanks.
OP
Search the forum for "FireDemon" or FireDaemon" and the answer will present itself.
Ok I will try that right now thank you.
Ok the program works, and seems like it will work great. Just one problem. The program I want to start outside of being logged in is a dial-up connection. In other words. I want my DSL dial-up connection in my network folder in the start menu to start up as a service. So I don't have to log in for the DSL like to log in. This was if the server is restarted, and I am not there to log it in, the DSL will go online anyway. That way others at my house can access the Internet without having to go and login to the server and logon the DSL line.
See what I am tring to do? So can I make this an exe? Or how should I do this? If it cant be done with normallity. Can I make a program or download a program that will be exe and dial-up an connection?
Thanks for the help everyone I appreciate it during this difficult time.
