Install an app as a service?
This is a discussion about Install an app as a service? in the Windows Software category; I recall reading something about the possibility of installing an application as a service in Windows XP? Anyone know how this is done? Specifically, I use my own smtp server for mail sending and it currently loads at startup and runs all the time sending mail as I write it.

Any tips appreciated.

Back in Win2k, I used FireDaemon, which doesn't currently work on XP, but there's supposed to be an update really soon.

I actually came across that post right after I posted mine. I was looking for those tools on the XP cd but I will now need to see if I can find them on a W2K cd somewhere...
Thanks,

Ok, I have looked through a W2K CD but can't find either of those. Any ideas where it would be? Or do you have a copy of one of them that you could send me?
