I am trying to find out if it is possible to run a program as a service under W2K server....
more specifically I am trying to run the Privoxy ad blocking proxy as a service - currently I have to log onto the server to get Privoxy to run (not a major point I know, but it annoys me enough to ask the question. Besides, I have plenty of points, so I might as well use 'em!)
Alternatively, I folk know a way to get W2K server to log on automatically that would be an acceptable method too
(the server is a standalone machine at home that acts as my firewall)
Thanks!

Stu, If creating the service doesn't work out then here's how to do your second question. Edit the registry and go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. If it is not already there, you will need to create a string value called AutoAdminLogon and give it a value of 1 (enabled). Then enter your login information for the sting values of DefaultUserName, DefaultDomainName and DefaultPassword. I also put the same information in AltDefaultUserName, AltDefaultDomainName and AltDefaultPassword. Hope this helps. Thanks Pete
