Creating a "service" from a regular program (to auto load)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Is there a way to make a regular program load as a service, that way in runs
automatically when the computer starts (even before logging in)? Thanks

Hi,
I don't quite understand why would you like your program to run as a
service?

You can run a program with a System account if you put it in a Startup
script:
Group Policy (gpedit.msc) / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings /
Scripts / Startup

Maybe it would be easier if you told us what do you want to do ?
