Exe2Serv converts Windows programs to services with ease. This system utility runs any executable as a service without requiring a Windows session login.
By converting everyday programs to services, Exe2Serv gives users complete control over their execution. This means that logged-in users are unable to interact with these programs, and they can be run in any security context, irrespective of the permissions granted to the currently logged user. Additionally, services that have been started at system boot, under the system account, can continue running even if no user is logged onto the system.
Exe2Serv is an ideal tool for users who cannot create services themselves. It provides the ability to convert not only .exe files but also .bat, .vbs (VBScript) and .js (JS scripts) files into services, which makes it an indispensable solution for many needs. However, Exe2Serv is a command line driven application, so users must be comfortable with using command line interface tools.
One must keep in mind that the applications launched by Exe2Serv as services will run under the Local System account. Also, Exe2Serv requires .NET 2.0 runtime files to run. Although the trial version is fully functional, it limits the number of applications that users can add to three. All in all, Exe2Serv is a powerful and versatile system utility that is well worth the price for those who need to run programs as services.
