I think Anderson is correct here; nothing survives the logoff except
the login process. There is no "service" application.

The only way I remember around this (and it goes back 6-8 years now)
is to have the Win98 PC dedicated to your process, have it log in as a
specific user (two more registry entries), lock the workstation
immediately (I forget how to do this) and start your processes from
HKLM...

To use a service, unless you can move to Win2K or newer, I believe you
are out of luck.
