System Services SDSE 12/10/2008 5:27:01 PM Is it possible to modify a local service so that it starts up as a system service.. I am running XP 64 bit and have an application that lags to startup when the user logs in and I was hoping i could modify it to start with the system instead of local login. Any ideas??

And there security implications as well. To change a service, open services.msc, click on the service, right-click for properties, click on the Log On tab, and select local system account. Some services will not operate correctly without a login. If yours won't, you'll have issues. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "SDSE" <SDSE[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5C6080B4-99F2-455B-A119-66ABF31681C0[ at ]microsoft.com...
