How about including it in the startup folder?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>hello! i've just developed a service type application developed in visual basic, on which i want to start automatically when the computer starts, So i think the best way is to include it in the services window under the administrative tools, could anyone help me with this, particularly on what programs or techniques to use, thanks! any input would help because i really have no idea on how to do this
There's two ways:
1- Use a free non supported Microsoft control.

2- Use the NT Service Toolkit from Desaware (500$).
You can download an eval version.
