Making custom services

[acl03]

Is there a way to turn a standard EXE file into a service?

I think there was a way in NT with svcany.exe - is that availaible/compatible with XP? T



Thanks,
Andrew

you will need the two small Microsoft programs in order to set up your service. Instsrv.exe is the program used to create a Windows service, and Srvany.exe is a program that allows almost any other program to run as a service. These files are available in Microsoft's Windows Resource Kit, at various internet sites, or you can just download them both here.
