[v4.x] Application as Service – Run any application as Windows service

The startup of programs (including viruses) includes at least three layers: 1) the Startup items floating on the top surface (as bare as our skin); 2) starts by disguising itself as a system service (like our muscles); 3) disguises as a drive file to run itself (like our bones). Here the thing to be considered is - let any program start with system boot as a Windows service.

Application as Service is a cutting-edge solution that allows you to run any application as a Windows Service - that is, before you get to the desktop, the software has started up successfully, thus benefiting from all the advantages that a native Windows service has. This way, you can give your applications the guarantee of 100% uptime, run a specified program at a predetermined time, set software with use permissions/priorities, manage system services remotely, launch applications as services interactively or silently (i.e., run them in the background), and so on functions that only various system services can have.

In detail, Application as Service enables your application to launch as a service, so as to run locally or on remote PC over network or Internet; run at specific time or date (backup utility, scheduler, etc.); automatically restart on power failures or application crashes (client-server utilities, databases, etc); run at the predefined order (follows the service it depends upon); start prior to user logon (monitoring tools, surveillance utilities, etc.) and even above the WinLogon screen (not for Vista); run on the desktop which you specify (screensaver, etc.).
