Hello
Why do you want to do this. what are those *various things*.
Services are special programs which run in the background.
You need to be able to do programming in order to create them.

That sounds like the wrong tool for the job. I would think that scheduling
them might come closer to what you have in mind. What do these batch files
do?
 
You can use a program as Service+ from Nicoware. It will run any
application as a service. You can control the applications environment
and use separate start and stop commands for your application.

It has a very nice GUI and you don't have to be an expert to use it.

We are using it on our servers and workstations for a variety of
applications without any problems at all.

Look at http://nicoware.net/software/products/serviceplus/index.php

I purchased Service+ quoted above because a friend told me this is a
good product. Unfortunately, there are 2 Service+, one from Nicoware
and one from Active+ Software...And I bought the wrong one, Service+
from Nicoware. I really tell everybody not to buy this product because
I had continuous problems with it and I have never been refunded.

Finally, I bought the one from Active+ Software and I am very satisfied
with it. And I can rely on the experience of a professional company. My
conclusion is: have a look at http://www.activeplus.com

What's wrong with it? Something we should be bewaring of?

Actually we did look into Service+ from ActivePlus, but it's a little
pricy ($46 compared to $19), so we chose Service+ from Nicoware. We
never had a problem with it.
