How to prevent a closing of Host Module?

 

A tray menu of the Host Module contains the "Exit" command to close the Host Module. Actually the user of remote computer should not be able to shutdown the Host Module, because the network administrator needs to have a stable access to the remote computer at any time. It is recommended to hide the tray icon on each workstation. Read how to hide tray icon..

 

If Host Module runs as a simple application, user of Host PC can shutdown it using the Task Manager. Install Host Module as a system service to avoid this issue. You can do it via Host Module settings ("Start" tab). Only users with administrator's privileges will be able to stop the service through the Service Manager.
