Subject: Launching a program as a service |
Comment: Hi,
Would anybody have a clue as to how I can launch a program like the old procomm for windows(communication program) as a service, so that in case of power failure and reboot the program is running before someone actually logs in. Otherwise is it possible to get rid of the Ctrl-Alt-Delete loggin screen and have the PC log in directly as a specified user ? Thanks
Nader

Reply: (edit)TweakUI sounds like your answer if you want to log in as a specific user and bypass the Ctrl-Alt-Delete crap. You can get it off microsofts site for free under the downloads for Windows NT.

Reply: (edit)I't is not possible to tell all the details here, but in brief: For starting a program as
a service , you have to submit it to the service control manager where you will tell startup options(auto/manual/disable). accordingly the program will be started when the system boots.Also whether it will have gui etc. etc. For this you will have to
use service control mangaer API's.
sample and API's help can be found in MSDN online help.
