FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any
native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python, TCL/TK)
as a Windows NT/2K/XP/2K3/Longhorn service. FireDaemon features easy
configuration (via GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess
prioritisation, custom environments, CPU binding plus monitoring and logging
to the event log and on-disk log files.
FireDaemon is supplied in three forms: a free Lite version (with limited
functionality for non-commercial use), a fully functional Pro version and an
OEM version designed for redistribution.

Microsoft provides SRVANY in the Windows Resource Kits. It's
unofficially available for separate download from many other sites.
You also need to download INSTSRV to install it. It doesn't work for
every program, but it's worth a try.

There's also another Resource Kit utility AUTOEXNT intended to run a
batch file before logon. Some apps when started this way can keep
running, surviving logons and logoffs.

Third choice (for no particular reason): SRVSTART
