Manually registering an application as a service

[JoelBrodeur]

I have a small application that does task scheduling (better than MS's task scheduler I think) and I would like to register it as a service so that it will run all the time without me having to be logged on. I know that it is possible but I have lost my notes on it in my last move.

Thanks in advance,

Try to use a Resource Kit - there is a program called srv* (something - srvadd?) - it'll do the job. For W2K it called sc.exe.

NT resource kit has the file called Srvany.exe and instrsrv.exe can help you to do that.

Go to MSDN support, article ID: Q137890, Howto: Create a User-Defined Service.

Or go to this link:

Hope this helps
