thanks for replying promptly.

Allow me to rephrase the question, under what authority do they run? as the
user who logs in? or as some system ID?
and anything special or different than running under c:\:\Onset\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\documents and settings

Why am I asking? I am trying to come up a different way to start an legacy
win32 application without the administrator login and stay login. Lets call
this app LAS for now. LAS is supposed to allow other users on the network
PC to connect and use LAS remotely. Nothing really bad using Admin ID this
way except
- the LAS XP CP can not run/restart unattended
- users are not suppose to have access to the admin ID. The LAS forces
every PC to have the same local ID and Password on all user PC even though
user can login using any domain ID
- they do need to reboot the PC every now and then to keep it working

They would all run with the current user's credentials. Sounds like maybe
you're after;

thank you again for the prompt reply.

I read the link, it does not say applicability to WinXp pro sp2 pro SP1

the LAS XP PRO also runs FileZilla server that serves up files residing on
w2k3 domain controller . I want to make sure the INSTSRV.EXE does not
break anything nor introduce security holes

I also like to point out that, when I tired to schedule the app to run on
startup using the LAS PC ADMIN, other users can not connect to LAS. I also
notice there is no system tray icon for the LAS.

You can also use sc.exe natively on server 2003. You'll probably want to get
in touch with the application developer.
