Run any program as a service  In my last column, I introduced
the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit's Srvany tool,
which lets you run a program as an NT service, and I explained
how to set up the utility. In this column, I explain how to use
the tool.  Services such as DNS, DHCP, WINS, and Microsoft
Internet Information Server (IIS) run regardless of whether
someone is logged on because developers built the programs to do
so. But modifying an application to run as a service is
difficult if you can't access the application's source code.
Srvany lets you run an application as a service whether or not
you're logged on or have access to the application's source
code. Srvany acts as a kind of envelope for almost any program
(i.e., programs that don't require user input) to run in.  Keys
to Success As I explained in my last column, installing Srvany
as a service is the first step to set up a program to run as a
service. In the installation process, you must create a Registry
key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
