 Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 1:17 am Post subject: Windows 2003 Question |
 |

|
|
I run Subgame in Windows 2003 on a server I maintain, on its own user account. How can I have Windows start Subgame, running under that account, on boot? Currently, I just remote-desktop in and start it manually, and leave that user logged in, running Subgame. Dropping a shortcut in the startup folder doesn't work--it only starts up Subgame when I login as that user. Do I need to specify Subgame to run as a "service" and all that jazz?
Thanks in advance. |

Couldn't you put it in the All Users startup folder?

Based upon him saying it only works if he logs in as that one user, I'm going to guess that he is using a multi-user system. If it is XP and using multiple user sessions at once, having it start anew for every user is bad. If he setup an account to auto-login upon boot, he could setup another program to switch-users right after startup or a specific time go back to the welcome screen.
In all those cases, just running it as a background process would be just as handy. The only cases it will fail is if he wishes to shutdown subgame, the service-process idea fails and it may not restart. In that case, he can just log into the system, go to service manager, and force-start it there. |

Ahhh, didn't consider that case. Good thinking. |
