Look for a program called apptoservice. That should do it.

Thanx!

If you can't get that to work, email me and I can send you the necessary files with a bat to install them. Works great

[Jorden]

Finberg, could you at least email me a list of how to do so plus the batch file, so I can add them to the FAQs? Thanks.

Just curious, how do you do the same in Win98? And keep the window hidden? I could get one more machine then

I don't know about win9x, but service for NT will look like this.

Make this two files:

genome.reg (start)

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\genome\parameters]
"Application"="c:\\program files\\genome\\ghclient.exe"
"AppDirectory"="c:\\program files\\genome"

end genome.reg

install.cmd (start)

@echo off

copy "genome.reg" "c:\program files\genome"
regedit /s "c:\program files\genome\genome.reg"

::Copy genome files (\...\ = path)
copy "instsrv.exe" "C:\program files\genome\"
copy "srvany.exe" "C:\program files\genome\"
copy "netsvc.exe" "C:\program files\genome\"
echo .
echo Wait till files copied
echo .
pause
::Install genome executable as NT Service
"C:\program files\genome\instsrv.exe" genome "C:\program files\genome\srvany.exe"
pause
net start genome

goto end
:error
echo.
echo Format is: install.CMD
echo
echo.
goto end

:end

end install.cmd

Apart from the two files genome.reg and install.cmd, you need instsrv.exe and srvany.exe If you don't have them, you can get them from http://www.hereintown.net/~jimi/seti/tech.html
Download one of the Service on NT to get the two files.

Well, I only have two NT/2K machines on G@H, and it doesn't need to be run as a service on those machines. I have one machine on Win98 that needs to keep the window closed (because the owner keeps closing it, even though I keep telling her not to ). I could not get TrayIt to work (wouldn't hide it).

This little thingy here will run gah as a service only visible as a task when using ctrl+alt+del...works well.. unly put .exe in the gah directory and run it from autostart instead of gah...

See we are not altogether bad...
