How Can I Run a Program as a Service at System Start?

[SouthernConfusion]

I have a Windows 2003 Standard box that runs a server daemon for a server based application. This program will NOT start unless the Administrator logs on LOCALLY to the machine at which time the daemon starts and users can connect to the application. I need to run this program, which doesn't exist as a service, when the box starts. This program must run as the local Administrator. Can I accomplish this using the registry or something? Thanks in advance.

You would want to use the resource kit to create a new service and configure the app to run as it.
