Windows Server 2003.
Not sure if this is the correct group for my question as it is part server
2003 configuration/security and maybe part programming. I have a small c++
application I wrote that installs as a service. It monitors another machine
and periodically copies files from that machine. The application has a GUI
that reflects the status of the other machine and file copies. The problem
is if I set the service Logon proerties as "Local System account" and "Allow
service to interact with desktop" my program cannot access the other
machines shared directory. If I set the Logon property to a specific
account then all works well. I am looking for a method that will allow me to
copy the files from the share and interact with the desktop.

TIA.
