Creating a Windows service
Some kind of application needs to be running H24. Usually, these are network servers or data transfer / monitoring applications. In these cases, you probably start with a normal GUI or console application; however, when the systems are to be used in production, you face a lot of problems related to the Windows session termination, reboots, user rights, and other issues related to the server environment.
