how do you only have a service run for one user account? e.g. VNC service

  • Thread starter Thread starter q_q_anonymous
  • Start date Start date
Q

q_q_anonymous

i see that programs can start up in many ways
various "Run*" parts of the registry, the startup folder. For all users
or individual ones.

However, what about those that register as services?
this is another way of startup up, but I can't see how to limit it to
one account.


VNC for example, starts automatically in all user accounts, by
registering as a service(i.e. it's listed in services.msc

I only want it to start up for one user account.

I suppose I could stop the service and start it from the registry or
startup folder. But i'd rather there were a way to let it be as it
wants to be, registering as a service, but still have it in only one
user account.
 
Set it to start up manually, create 2 batch files, one containing "net start
winvnc", the other containing "net stop winvnc", set one as your logon
script and the other as your logoff script using gpedit.msc.
