Service Starter

I was reading the article on Installing a Service that Logs in as an User Account Layer

I didn't like the idea of people being able to see the password, but I also don't want them to have to enter in a password. So this tool was born.

Run ServiceStarter.exe and it will ask you for the service name, the password, and the location to save the executable. It compiles an executable that will run sc.exe with the service name and password. You then can add this executable into the onPostActivate part of the registry.

No installation is needed for this tool.

One command line option.

/temp "directory" - This is used to change where the temp files are stored.

There are 4 temp files that need to be stored on the computer while it runs. They get deleted as soon as the script exits.

Not a difficult program to write, but I would appreciate feedback. It's written in AutoIT and if you want the source I would be happy to give it to you.

Works for me

I just downloaded the .zip file and was able to extract the source file (ServiceStarter.exe) successfully.
