Does anyone know if a program, not necessarily designed to be run as a service, can be run as a service on windows 2000 professional. I have satellite DSL that needs to start a program after you log in, but I would like to run the program as a service so I don't have to log in for it to run. Any suggestions?

Actually I recommend that you don't run anything as a service that was not meant to be there. You open yourself to a world of hurt if things go wrong. However, this is what I recommend. In the Windows 2000 resource kit is the command line utility called " SC " To get further help with this simply type " SC /? "

The Windows 2000 resource kit has a tool called servany.exe which will let you run any program as a service.
If you can't get the tool you can try using Task Scheduler.
