    Question 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?

    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

    There is a Resource Kit utility that allows you to run any file as a service.
    http://pcmedics.itgo.com/Tips_Win2k/...nstsrv_exe.htm

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

    Question

    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.
