That link points to an article about "sc.exe", which
is for remotely configuring and controlling services.

But to make a regular app run as a service you need
something else, I believe.

The MS Windows NT and 2000 resource kits have
a utility called "srvany.exe" that will run many
regular apps as a service.

I had to use it to get Mercury Mail to run as a
service. Seems to be working okay so far.
