app not showing up when call in webservice with process.start("calc.exe");

rick

All,

Built a webservice that calls calc.exe using process.start("calc.exe"); The app shows in task manager but the calculater screen doesn't pop open. Why is that?
Is there a property that I need within the Process object?
Its my understanding that we can't use Shell commands in C#, can I use the old Com namespace?

I just proved it works fine in a windows application, why doesn't it work in a webservice?

it is probably because the calc.exe is running under a different user,
so you can´t see it, I know that trying to do it under asp.net web app will launch the
application under the asp.net user, so you can´t see it running.
