Running a program as a service

Is there a way to run a program as a service in Win2000 server? I have a FTP manager program I'd like to have running even when no one is logged into the machine. The program itself doesn't offer the option to add itself to the Windows services.

I believe there is something in the resource kit for Windows 2000 server. You might try there. I think it is Instsrv tool.

I may be all wet..but what I usually use for that is the task scheduler. I've had it fire up programs for me that I gave set time parameters to use. Check with FTP manufacture to see if it's possible.
