Wow... So it appears that it requires the caller to have a visible window in order to get the Window Handle from another window? I can't see the logic in that... I mean, if this is true, I couldn't even modify my Service to call an external VB.NET application with a hidden window. I suppose the same would be true.
Yeah, I could write the Service in straight C++ but I think instead I'll write an external application in C++ and call it from my VB.NET service using the Shell command stuff (if that works). Thanks so much for your help! I still think this is a bug in the .NET framework unless they did this thinking they were filling a security hole...

You can try stop/start services (local/remote) with WMI. Have a look at the recent article 
Hope this helps, I havent (i hate it went i do that) looked at it myself.

Well I'll be a...
I figured out what was going on. Well, I knew what was going on but not why. If I go to Services under Administrative Tools under Control Panel, choose the service I wrote, and go to Properties, then the Log On tab there's a checkbox called "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop". If I check that box, everything works fine. It never even occurred to me to look in there - LOL.
Thanks for all your help (I feel stupid now).

Nice! Can you tell me, does that give your service a valid Window handle, even though your service mite not have a UI/Window? That would solve a lot of problems.

I'm not really sure... The Service "Class" that you inherit from doesn't appear to include a Window Handle since it doesn't appear to include any kind of "form". That doesn't necessarily mean anything though. Hmmm. I'll have to look a little closer.

The beta of the .NET Framework version 1.1 SDK and Redistributable is now available, along with the add-on to build and run J# applications. We encourage you to download these and provide us with feedback. You may register for the beta program to access these downloads at http://www.betaplace.com. Use the following userID and password to gain access to the site:
ID: SDKBETA
Password: SIGNMEUP
(Please note: you should expect a 24 delay between registering at the site and being able to download the beta.)
The .NET Framework version 1.1 features improved scalability and performance; support for mobile device development with the ASP.NET Mobile Controls (formerly the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit); support for Internet Protocol version 6; and classes in ADO.NET for native communication with ODBC and Oracle databases. It also enables the use of code access security to further lock down and isolate ASP.NET applications. For more information, check out the white paper “What’s New in the .NET Framework Version 1.1.” at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/productinfo/next/overview.asp
• We encourage all the feedback we can get on the .NET Framework version 1.1, its features and behavior. We’re sending this mail/posting this message to encourage more testing. So far, we’ve gotten significant feedback, but the time is now to find and submit those bugs.
• In the interest of setting realistic expectations from the outset, we should be clear that we cannot promise that we will address every issue raised from the beta program in the final release of the SDK. Your feedback is still critical to help us find the showstopper issues as well as ensure that we can continue to improve the product going forward.
• Critical issues – along the lines of security vulnerabilities, compatibility between the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1, installation issues, significant regressions, and production stability for example – will take priority.
• Other issues – We appreciate feature suggestions, but at this point they would be considered only for future releases. We’re closed on new features for the .NET Framework SDK.
• Again, thank you for taking the time to beta test our software. We look forward to hearing your reactions
We will release to manufacturer version 1.1 simultaneously with Windows .NET Server 2003. We appreciate your help in making this a strong, successful release and look forward to hearing about your experiences developing with and running this software.
Thanks,
The .NET Framework Team

Eric, does it integrate with VS.NET right now? Or do I have to wait till .NET server comes out till I get to do that?
Your bullshit is so effusive I can smell it across oceans...

It can coexist with VS.NET 2002 (using Side by Side install), but it isn't usable from the VS.NET 2002 RTM IDE.

24 hour delay? Well, we're working on day 2 now. On the site it mentions 8-12 weeks...

That was brought up on the DOTNET lists and Brian Harry from MS said "I suspect that is stock text. We aren't sending bits to you, you'll be downloading them. I am promised that all requests will be approved within 24 hours."
I assume that because of the massive posting MS did about 1.1 they are just backlogged with getting people access to the files.

I was actually hoping to see a list of enhancements really.
EG, RichTextBox mite now contain a protected ScrollPosition property, something I had to add myself.

I'm sure that they're somewhere....maybe on MSDN.

I've searched here but no found. I wonder if anyone has created a control that look like the drop down detail view (in folder view mode, no tree) on the left panel of Windows XP's window explorer?
Thanks.

No. It's not the tree control I was looking for.
When you click "folders" toolbar button from window explorer, it changes to folder view, then on the left side, there is the detail panel which displays information about files and folder, also the down arrow on the upper right corner serves a drop down function.
It's only available in Windows XP.

 I was really confused by what you said, then I realized you mean when folder view is actually disabled. 
It's the first time I have actually noticed it . Its seems to be built into the explorer UI. I have also not seen such a control

Actually I've seen it in quite a few software, such as McAfee version 6, also some commercial controls.
It seems to be the newer "side bar" style that replaces what used to be called "outlook bar" from Microsoft interface design.
