Make a Program Run as a Windows Service on Boot Components that run automatically with Windows on boot up often establish themselves as a system service. Other options are to add programs into the registry in places like HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent. VersionRun and HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent. VersionRun, or into the All Users Startup group folder C Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsStartup, C UsersAll UsersStart MenuProgramsStartup. There are pros and cons to each method, for example Startup group items will not begin until a user has logged on to the system. To register a program as a service you can use the SC. EXE command which should be part of your Windows operating system.

Microsoft Corp. C user sc create My. Program. Name binpath C My. FolderMy. Program. Display. Name My Sample ProgramSC Create. Service SUCCESSSometimes programs require running interactively with the Desktop, you can modify your service in the Services control panel applet, or with SC to reflect that. To specify via SC that a program should run interactively add type interact in the arguments note, you can more than one type statements at a time. The problem we quickly run into is that My. Program. exe is not aware of how to behave like a service, so the Service Control Manager SCM will shut it down shortly after it starts. We can get around this by making a different program call My. Program. exe in the binpath configuration. C user sc config My. Program. Name binpath cmd. C My. FolderMy. Program. Display. Name My Sample ProgramSC Change. Service. Config SUCCESSNotice two things here, first instead of saying sc create I said sc config, that is because we already had a service named My. Program. Name from our previous attempt. The config argument edits an existing service, where as the create argument makes a new service from scratch. You can also delete an existing service with sc delete followed by the service name i. My. Program. Name. The second thing you should notice is that Ive added cmd. CMD. EXE is also not service aware and so SCM will stop it shortly after it begins, however SCM will not kill the child program My. Program. exe, only its parent cmd. The problem with this approach is that SCM will still report the service as failing to start, and will reflect that status in the Services applet as well. The work around is to use SRVANY. EXE that comes with the Windows Resource Kit, it is a service aware application that will play nice with SCM, and will start up our program in the process. You can download the Windows Resource Kit from http www. Once downloaded and ran, the Windows Resource Kit installs to. Installs to PROGRAMFILESWindows Resource KitsToolsCopy SRVANY. EXE to a different location. In the example above, the My. Program. exe application was in the C My. Folder directory, you could copy SRVANY. EXE to that location as well. Delete any previous attempts at creating a service you might have made jumping ahead and not reading all of this article before starting. C user sc delete My. Program. NameSC Delete. Service SUCCESSNow recreate the service, by use SRVANY. EXE in the Bin. Path statement. C user sc create My. Program. Name binpath C My. FolderSRVANY. EXE type own start auto Display. Name My Sample ProgramSC Create. Service SUCCESSThis will give us a service called My. Program. Name, the name that displays in the Services control panel application will be My Sample Program, but the name wed use with net start or net stop is My. Program. Name. The problem is thatthis doesnt have anything to do with My. Program. exe, no where is My. Program. exe actually being started. SRVANY. EXE looks at the name of the service its being ran as. In this way you can have multiple services configured to run SRVANY. EXE, and depending on the name of the service starting SRVANY, it will figure out what to do next. SRVANY gets its instructions by looking at the Windows registry. When you create a new service a registry key is made at HKLMSystemCurrent. Control. SetServices with the name of your newly created service. So for this example the service named My. Program. Name now has this registry entry HKEYLOCALMACHINESYSTEMCurrent. Control. SetServicesMy. Program. Name. Open up regedit. HKEYLOCALMACHINESYSTEMCurrent. Control. SetServicesMy. Program. Name. Make a new registry key called Parameters by right clicking on the My. Program. Name key and choosing New KeyClick on the newly created Parameters key. In the empty space at the right, right click and choose New String ValueName the new string value Application and set the value to the program and command line arguments to run. SRVANY will look for the Application key and run it when SCM tells it to start up. If you are designing an application to run as a Windows service it needs to be service aware in that it must speak and honor constructs of the Service Control Manager. The SCM is in charge of telling a service to start or stop, as well as determining if the service has started in a timely fashion or has crashed unexpectedly and what to do in such a case. Unfortunately you may be using a third party application as a service, or perhaps youre just trying to be lazy, in which case I hope the above information has helped you out.
