Run Program As service

[chickenbeef]

Anyone know of a freeware program that will allow you to run a program as a service so that it will load before a person logs onto a computer ---> ?

Can't you just put the program in Startup?

NO! placing it in startup means it will only be executed after the person logs onto the PC

Make it run as a windows service.
Something like this.

sc.exe is included in windows

Is this a custom written program, and if so what language.

If not use srvany.exe,srvinstw.exe and instsrv.exe (I have them with the .ocx and .hlp)

Anything that wasn't developed as a service but you install it as one has a very good chance of giving you problems.

NT Services have to support certain functionality, a third party application could give you some form of wrapper for this but the results may not be as expected.

There are ocx's available for VB 6.0 to run your app as a service, but these always gave me trouble...

Why do you need to to load before the user logs on? If it's just to hide the application as apposed to StartMenu -> StartUp which will popup the application, rather call the app from a VB Script then you can hide it and use call it from the registry (msconfig).
