I'm not sure which program you're speaking of as there are many applications
that are known as "PowerPro". However, you can make any application a
service by typing...

"sc create <service_name> binPath= <path_to_executable>"

Example:
sc create MyService binPath= c:\test\MyProgram.exe

Note that the space after "binPath=" is intentional.
 
Good point.

Type: sc create /? in a command prompt.

See sc create here...
Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...
