Run as a Service?

I have posted somthing along these lines in the past, but am now revising my question drastically. Here it is: Is it possible to get a program(UD Think, Seti@home, etc) to run as a service in NT? If so, how?

:confused:

for a program to be run as a service it must be coded that way by the developers. Some programs give you that option when you install them.

not true. I can do it in 2000 with the "runas" command which doesn't exist in NT 4. I can also do it in 95/98/ME with the registry ket "RunAsService" which also doesn't exist in NT. I know there is a way to do it. So any real help would be awesome :)

I'm working on it, I know its possible, though I may have to get back to it later...

Thanks.

If you find out later please jut pm me. /me appreciates the help :)

There is a Resource Kit utility that allows you to run any file as a service.

even though the url says win2k it also applies to NT 4

I am looking more along the lines of something that is already available within NT. I just want to run a standard .exe file as a service. It can be done, but I haven't been able to remember how.

use srvintw.exe from the resource kit..

simple and works..
