Creating a windows system process in XP Pro..?

I have an application that I would like to configure a windows system process
for so that it will not interact with the desktop. Currently, when I log in
the application pops up and there are no options within the program to tell
it to start minimized or anything like that. I used sc.exe to create a
system process but it will not start properly.. Here is the command I used
to create it..

C:\Windows\System32\sc.exe create "timershot" binPath=
"C:\windows\system32\timershot.exe"

This does create a system process within the services mmc, but when I try to
start it I get the following:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion"

I looked it up, and Microsoft says that I just need to install the .NET 1.1
Framework SP1 but I already have that installed on my machine. I went ahead
and re-installed it and re-booted, but it did not fix the issue.

Anybody have an idea of how to make this work?

Thanks in advance...
