---------------

      If you are using Windows NT or Windows 2000, you can choose to
      run Zope as a service. Running Zope as a service is a good idea
      for a public server. If you are just running Zope for personal
      use don't bother running it as a service.  Keep in mind that if
      you are running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME (Millenium
      Edition), you cannot run Zope as a service.

         as far as I know, 

         XP is a NT technology....so you should be able to run it as service if you wish

         Of course, Windows XP comes from NT technology, which means you have a list of services as in Windows 2000,
         you can ask them to start manually or automatically. All NT services I've encountered so far have worked
         flawlessly with Windows XP Pro. And yes, running Zope as a service is a better idea, servers are meant to
         work this way.

         Well, not probed yet, but I think it must be really easy to simulate a windows service in Windows 9x but just
         creating an batch script to start zope&plone and then executing it automatically by adding a line (run
         regedit) to the register "folder" HK_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run
