Is it possible to convert anapplications .exe to run as a windows server
2003 service. What i need is for windows to automaticaly start a service
when the server boots.

Cheers

You don't necessarily need to convert the application to a service -
you could start it as an .exe file, launching it under the Task
Scheduler as a boot task.
