Dear maintainer,
Thank you very much for your answer. I changed the configuration settings
according to your advice (Control panel/Administrative tools/services/Log
on/Allow interaction with desktop), and my tool now runs perfectly fine!
Thank you very much for your fruitful help,
Best Regards,
Gwenaelle
