Pardon me for jumping in. I need to do something that requires drive
mapping and run as service on XPs
1. So I can ignore the documentation that it can not be used to run batch
file?
the article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;137890
says
"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). "
------------------
If not, what about vbscript file
2. Assuming we can use batch file, once a service is installed by the use of
Instsrv.exe and Srvany.exe, the registry keys updated, can one not user the
service applet to change the user and password used to run the service?
