I want to provide users of a VB ASP Classic website (a well-defined group) with a button which will stop and restart an application running in a visible window on a particular user's desktop on the webserver.
The users do not have direct access to the machine (either physically or via vnc, rdp, etc), and this application needs to be running and visible in order to what the site it needs to do. I, of course, have no control over the choice of application, its implementation, or availability of the machine.
I've gotten as far as stopping and starting the process using the sample code at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394375(VS.85).aspx
But the application window (I'm still working with notepad.exe as the sample code does) is not visible on the desktop, despite being shown as owned by the desktop user in the Task Manager.
Edit: @AnthonyWJones: The IIS server is the same machine that I want the app window to appear on. I just want to be able to open that app (i.e. have it appear in a window on the desktop of a logged-in user of that machine) via a webpage that machine serves.
