There are 2 easy ways - 1 put it in the startup menu of windows by copying it there, 2 call it in autoexec.bat

Neither accomplish what the user wants. A "service" is not started via autoexec.bat nor startup menu.

Try the information at http://www.overclock.net/faqs/119474-how-run-program-service.html or http://kennethhunt.com/archives/001728.html .

If that doesn't quite do it, google for "run program as service" or something like that. You can find programs that will load the program as a service or instructions to do it yourself.

If still nothing, I'll post the instructions I used a while ago.

this is an instruction I used for running several programs as services, I'm sure it can be customized for your particular software
