My problem with this is you are required to leave the = user they use logged in to run these applications. For obvious reasons I do = not like leaving servers logged in when no one is at the console. Is there a way to make these applications run as services so I can see = them in the services.msc MMC? Does anything specific need to be done to make = an application a service, or is there a command that can be run to = initialize the app as a service? Just wondering what the limitations are. Right now they have these apps in the Start up folder, which only works = when they login. I think I read somewhere at some point you can do something = at the command line to make this happen. It would be a great help if I = could figure this out and lock down these NT4/W2K servers that much more.
