However, if you don't have admin access on the Win2K system, it won't be able to write to the registry locations to autostart it at bootup. Your best bet then is just put it in your startup group and NOT check "start at bootup". Of course then it only runs when you're logged on... Just one of those things... WinNT/2K is designed that way, with security in mind, so along with that come limitations to what non-admins can do, and installing services or modifying some registry locations are part of it.
