i was thinking about running GuildFTP as a service so it was always up and running...but the prog doesnt have that feature built in. does anyone know how to run programs as a windows (xp or 2k) service so that it runs no matter which user is logged on?

thanks in advance

EDIT: after some diggin i actually found a way to do it manually...check out these two sites and dl instsrv.exe and srvany.exe and just follow the instructions

site w/ the 2 files

M$ knowledge base article

tho the M$ article only says winnt and 2k...it's worked for me on xp

Explain how you add it manually. I don't think your method is possible.

Sorry, I was thinking about Win32 API, but I guess you can't do it manually. If you have VC++ it's easy to write a 10 line program that would do that.
 
U should be able to just add that to the StartUp folder for All Users ... and then it will start up everytime someone logs on to windows.
Hope this helps ...

P.S. ---> U can also do this if U have TweakXP ... but U will have to buy the software.
