Hi, Hm, well the Windows 2000 Resource Kit "Tools" help has the chapter "Running an Application as a Service" states:
Running an Application as a Service ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- To specify an application to run as a service, you must use a registry editor to add information to the Windows registry. You also have the option of setting any required startup parameters to run the application, as well as setting the working directory used by the application. and then gives specific instructions...: Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open box, type regedt32, and click OK. Add a new Parameters subkey in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ MyService\ In the new Parameters subkey, create an: Application entry with a data type of REG_SZ, specify the full path of the executable file for the application (including the extension). For example: Application: REG_SZ: D:\Tools\Vi.exe Setting Start Parameters Use one of the following to set specific start parameters. In the new Parameters subkey in the registry, create an AppParameters entry with a data type of REG_SZ, and specify the parameters for the application. For example: AppParameters: REG_SZ: C:\Tmp\EXAMPLE - Or - In Services in Control Panel, click your service, and then, in the Startup Parameters box, type the full command line required to start the application. For example: D:\\Binp\\B.exe C:\\Tmp\\EXAMPLE Note You must type two backslashes (\\) to specify a single backslash (\). But then warns: --------------- Use Services only when the service is configured to be started manually, not when it is started by the system. If the target application is usually the same each time you run the service, specifying it in Services is less convenient than entering these parameters in the registry, because you must type the parameters each time the service is started. However, if the target application is usually different each time the service is started, using the Services method might be more convenient.
