Run a Program Interactively
To run a program interactively when an alert is set by using System Monitor:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
 * 2) Right-click Performance Logs and Alerts, and then click Properties.
 * 3) On the Log On tab, click to select the Local System Account and Allow service to interact with Desktop check boxes.
 * 4) On the General tab, click Start, and then click OK.
 * 5) Set up the alert.

NOTE: By default, the program is not started interactively. Even if you create a user account and then start the service by using that user account, the process will not be interactive because the service would run in a different user context than the one that is logged on.
