Hi Mike. After complelty trashing my default W2K Zope startup service with the Zope Windows controller, I needed to recreate the service, and did not have the resource kit tool to do so. Instead I used a free utilty called FireDaemon, which allows you to easily create an NT service wrapper around most any executable. http://www.firedaemon.com After setting this up, startup options are directly edited in the registry. It has worked flawlessly, and is useful for other stuff too. Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson@indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678
