I created a WinForms application that is being start by a scheduled task under the SYSTEM user. The only problem is that it's running in the background.

Is it possible to write a wrapper around the program to get the logged in user and bring it to their desktop?

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ScheduledTaskTest
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        private static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Form1());
        }
    }
}

The terminology of this post isn't very clear and kind of a little ambiguous – TheGeneral Mar 12 '18 at 07:50

@MichaelRandall That's quite common with X/Y problems. – Filburt Mar 12 '18 at 07:50
`running in the background`, `bring it to their desktop` what exactly do you mean – TheGeneral Mar 12 '18 at 07:51

@StuiterSlurf You might want to specify what your task's trigger is and problem you are trying to solve by running it as System. – Manfred Radlwimmer Mar 12 '18 at 07:55
