OnStart()

[JohanNL]

When is the Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
method fired?

When the service starts.

Thanx, that's what I thought, but wasn't sure and I'm new to services

Watch out though - if you put something in it that takes a really long time then Windows might think that the service hasn't started properly. I usually use OnStart to fire off a timer or another thread or something so it doesn't block.
