Default OT- Coding Help VB or what ever
I need to write an application that will launch on startup on a windows 2000 box that will monitor the services.

When it sees that a specific service has started it will launch a program and then shut down.

Can anyone help me.

Well, I don't know the specifics of VBASIC (I've tried to avoid it ), you can add the program to the startup list in msconfig (I think) or in the registry under, IIRC, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run. That program would be the one to monitor the services and launch a kill program.
