| -to Dave Patrick: How do I use this srvany.exe file? I don't know any
| command line parameters for it, thus just tried running it in hopes of
| sheeding light, but it did not do anything. Didn't even terminate..
| (had to ctrl+c)
 
First I tried SC.exe, then I tried srvany.exe.


That article you just linked to requires INSTSRV.exe. I do not have
that file.
 
You'll need to download it using the link I provided.

That link to srvany.zip only contained srvany.exe.

As for the second mention of the XP Resource Kit, I really doubt my
ability to install it will change.
 
Thanks. That seems to have fixed it. However, I am still running into a
problem that I ultimately tried to use this to fix. I have a program
that can run as a service, and is manged via another program. The
problem is, I cannot change the priority of a service. So I went
through all this to make the managing program a service, and disabled
the original program's option to be a service. Unfortunately, Task
Manager is once again denying me the ability to change the original
program's priority ("Access is denied" error). Is there any way I can
change a service's priority, and/or change the priority of a program
that a service has opened?
 
You might be able to use dependencies.

Or if you start the first application and then need the service started.

You can use start command in a shell script something like;

start "" "fullpath\some program"
net start "service name"

"The Requested Web Page is Not Available" for both of those links..

But do they really have to do with changing the priority of a service?
When you right click on a process that has been started a service, go
to the Set Priority submenu, and try to change the service's priority.
You too will find that it will not work. (It would also be nice if the
services I'm trying to get going would start with realtime priority in
the first place so I don't have to worry about changing it..)
 
Until Dave comes back, these link didn't wrap properly but the articles
are there at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888/en-us
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/115486/en-us

You could just have copied & paste the links in Dave's post or just
search the Knowledge Base for the article numbers.

Hmm.. I see.. Well it would appear that those two articles have
absolutely nothing to do with application priority.. Unless I'm missing
something..
