How did you set up the service? I don't think srvany.exe uses the file extension mapping so I don't think you may set the Application=script.gpl You have to set it up like this : Application=...\perl.exe # it's not necessary to use guiperl.exe ... the service is hidden # anyway unless you set it as "interactive" AppParameters=...\script.gpl and some parameters HTH, Jenda == [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz == The phenomenon of UFO doesn't say anything about the presence of intelligence in space.
