Running a software / program as a service.

            Hello all and I hope you all have a good weekend and once again
I wish you and all your families the best.

Now for my question:

I am looking to have a program run as a service in my Windows XP or 2003
Box.

Normally I have it start up in the startup folder, but this requires me to
login into the computers profile to do so. So what I am looking for is to
some how have it start when I boot my pc (as a service).

Is there a way to do this? Well I know there is. I just don't know how. If
you can help please do. Thank you all for your time.
