Hello Patrick,

(I'm sure Jason already knows this) If the OS is NT (maybe also Win2K) you can use SvrAny??.Exe - it comes with the NT4 option pack and allows you to run almost any exe as a service (see Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Services). There are some restrictions - did this once years ago, so I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's things like interacting with User, or is it the desktop, dang!

>Put it in the registry, install TweakUI or TweakI and lock that machine down. Sounds like you have a user who doesn't want to use the computer for what it is meant for, so start taking away their rights.
>Or stick it in the registry and delete regedit.
