    In a Windows VPS environment, if you open programs to run in the System Tray, can you log out of your Remote Desktop Session, and the programs will continue to run? Or do you always need the remote desktop session open?

    The programs will keep on running as long as you do not terminate them. A Remote Desktop session simply sort of connects you to the console.

    HTH.

    yes they will keep running

    but some host, reboot machines every night to save resources on VPS.
    on VPS reboot only takes a few secs.

    Its not like your usual Linux SSH where the running task will knock off, consider it as a back ground service, the one on link you would specify a "&" after the command to move the process to the background. :)
