bens2333,
There is another tool in the NT Resource Kit that lets you do it. I don't know if you consider that "3rd party" because it does come from Microsoft, but it doesn't come with Windows. But without a utility program like that, there isn't a way to do it, unless you write the application yourself and write it to be a service.

What do you do with questions where the Asker isn't happy with the answer, not because it was wrong, but because it isn't the answer they wanted to hear?

I suggest a split between myself and juliancrawford ... I made the original suggestion, and juliancrawford gave more details.

that helps, but i was hoping for a way to do it without a third party tool. Is there a windows or dosish way to make something run as a service?
