Question
winxp service boot order
what is the boot order for windows services? i have a wireless nic and a service that accesses the internet before the nic can use its static ip address, any thoughts? this service is designed by me using c#. on a wired nic computer the service works fine. so i think on the wireless nic computers my service is starting before a required wireless service starts. i want to keep this universal between wired and wireless nics and not have to install my service differently for wired and wireless. having the boot order for winxp services should help me fix my problem, hopefully!

You asked the boot order of windows services. Windows services belong to a Service Group and Service Groups are loaded in the order posted in previous message. As you so clearly put it in one of your replies all you need is the boot order of windows services. Well this hoe you find out in which order the services are loaded when you boot your windows xp machine. First item on the list loads first, last item on the list loads last. You can change the order in which services are loaded by changing the order of the list or by changing the ServiceGroup a service belongs to. Here is something from Microsoft on the subject:
Description
The ServiceGroupOrder subkey contains a list of all service groups in the order in which the groups are loaded.
Tip
• To determine the service group to which a service belongs, find the value of its Group entry.
• To find all services in a service group, use the registry editor Regedit.exe. On the Edit menu, click Find, type the name of the service group, and then select only the Data check box.
I believe your original question is answered but if you meant something else then please clarify and I will try to answer it.
A bit more on ServiceGroups and GroupOrder from Microsoft.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Description
This subkey stores the order in which services in a service group are loaded when the system starts.
Services in a service group are assigned a tag. A tag is a numeric value that is unique within a service group. When the system loads a service group, it loads the services in the order in which their tags appear in the GroupOrderList entry for that service group.
Each entry in the GroupOrderList subkey represents a service group. The value of the entry contains the number of tags, followed by a series of tags in a specified order. All entries have the same format:
Service group name
REG_BINARY
Number of tags Tag [Tag ...]
For example,
PointerPort
REG_BINARY
03000000020000000100000003
The value in this example determines the order in which the three services in the PointerPort service group are loaded. The first significant digit (3) indicates that the value of the entry contains three tags. The remaining significant digits (2, 1, and 3) indicate that the service assigned tag 2 will load first in that group, followed by the service assigned tag 1, and then the service assigned tag 3.
Tip
•
To find the services in any service group, use the registry editor Regedit.exe to open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
•
To find the service group and tag number of any service, open the subkey representing the service in \CurrentControlSet\Service
