Article 2126 of microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel:
Hi !

The Windows NT Resource Kit provides two utilities that allow you to create
a Windows NT user-defined service for windows NT applications and some 16-
bit applications, but not for batch files.
 
 
To create a Windows NT user-defined service:
 
1. At the MS-DOS command prompt, enter the following command:
 
      <Drive>:\<ResKit directory>\INSTSRV.EXE <My Service> <Drive>:
      \<ResKit directory>\SRVANY.EXE
 
   NOTE: The command above is all in one line.
 
   The following message appears to confirm that a Windows NT
   service has been added:
 
      CreateService SUCCESS
 
      Don't forget!!! You must now go to the Control Panel and
      use the Services applet to change the account name and
      password that this newly installed service will use when
      it attempts to logon as a service when it starts.
      Also, use the Services applet to ensure this newly installed
      service starts automatically, since the point of this
      service is to start automatically and apply the DACLs
      to the floppy drives prior to a user logging on at
      the keyboard
 
2. Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
 
3. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:
 
      \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
 
4. From the Edit menu, choose Add Key. Add the <My Service> key.
 
5. Select the <My Service> key. From the Edit menu choose Add Value.
 
6. Add the following:
 
      Value Name: Application
      Data Type:  REG_SZ
      String: <Path>:\<Executable or Batch File>
 
7. Choose OK and quit Registry Editor.
 
8. Shutdown and restart Windows NT.
 
9. Run Control Panel, choose Services, and start the service.

Bye Bye.
