What ID is the Skype Client running as?

Well I've finally solved this particular problem. Simply do the following to get your Windows Service communicating with Skype...

- Windows Control Panel
- Administrative Tools
- Services
- Find your Windows Service
- Right click and go to the Service's properties
- Go to the 'Log On' tab
- Select 'Allow service to interact with desktop'
- Click 'OK'
- Now restart the service
- Heh presto, it your service should now communicate ok with Skype!

There are changes with system services and session 0 ("The ability to interact with the desktop") in Vista please see this:
