This sounds like a bad idea in general, but OK. I can get it to launch WMP
from Apache by enabling "allow service to interact with desktop" in services.
Doesn't work at all if Apache logs on as my actual username, though.
This begs the question - what will it do when there's no desktop?
There may be a better way to do it - is this for remote control of a headless
PC running as a media system?
