Off the top of my head, one could create a "poor man's" service by sticking the name of the EXE in one of the "Run" Windows registry entries of the Server.

That's the way most Spyware, Adware and some viruses do it :)

>I have it running fine.. I want it to run forever:) well not really, I want to be able to stop it. That why i was thinking about running it as a service to be able to stop it that way.
