A program called Firedaemon. I used to run the Folding@Home client as a service using that.

Does any one know where I can find out what registry flags I need (under the Parameters key)to pass over logon information to start an app as a service (I have alreadey installed the service) as the application just sit's on the logon screen.

Regards A.
