This is the way to do it… hehe, I don’t have time to play with that atm sorry 
And here’s the .net example I sourced it from https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/CSCreateProcessAsUserFromSe-b682134e
Hmmm very interesting thanks! 
Wow, did I find something that MBS hasn’t done already? 
Heh, np have fun, some good reading in there anyway. Let us know how you get on.
Fun indeed 
So I finally had some time to get back to this and I found this post that seems to show exactly what I was trying to do:
https://blog.cjwdev.co.uk/2011/06/10/vb-net-start-process-in-console-session-from-windows-service-on-windows-7/
I used Visual Studio 2012 and I tried to create a class library file .vb with the Windows.API class example from the post. I was then hoping to use the VB Migration Assistant tool to get that into a Xojo project so I could try to convert the rest of the code in the example and give it a try.
The migration assistant tool produced nothing. Just an empty class in the Xojo project it created from the .vb file. Can anyone tell me why I am unable to get the migration tool working using the Windows.API example class from the post?
Thanks for any help.
The MBS Plugins have a tray class which can show balloons:

Migration assistant takes care of ui elements, not code.
