#5 Run as service

[Ian Roberts]

Currently the "Start automatically when Windows starts"
is mislabelled - it is really "Start automatically when
(this) user logs in" - it sets the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre
ntVersion\Run to be freekiss.

It would be really nice if freekiss could be run as a
service so that it was available before anyone logged in.

I'm not a Delphi developer (Perl & C++ are more my
thing), but a little googleing for delphi service gave a
couple of potential ways;

(Delphi 5 - don't know how much it changed between 5
& 7).

This guy has a demo delphi project which is both a
service and an app;

hi isroberts,

I haven't worked on freekiss since the beginning of june
(school), but the splitting of gui and server was already in
my mind, so we have a service that starts before a user logs
in, and a config app that you can run. That way, it will be
much easyer to port it to linux (what i am using now),
because the gui is seperated.
I can't tell you when it's finished, because i don't know
when i can work on it further.
