To Gianluca Varenni and J.J. Guy
Thank you very much for your answer to my mail. I really appreciate that you have spent your time to help me.
NPF (Netgroup Packet Filter) is not an .exe file, it is a .sys file (%windir%\system32\drivers\npf.sys)
So I can not install it as a service just by executing it.
But I found the sc.exe command and I believe that it could be very helpful (I have to read its help first and learn how it works in Windows XP).
My problem was finally solved after modifying the data stored in the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NPF ,
as it is explained in http://winpcap.polito.it/misc/faq.htm#Q-18
Thank you very much. Tante grazie Vielen Dank,
Diedrich Schultz.

Another solution (much more straightforward) is the one described here

The application needs to be installed as a service. It will then run as SYSTEM. That should fix the security-related problem.
In NT and 2k, you can create your own services using the sc.exe command line
tool out of the NT and 2k resource kits. I have no experience with XP.
Services require specific callback functions for the start, stop and pause
calls. If I recall correctly, a "normal" exe may be installed as a service,
with the main() function acting as the start callback. Can't say for
certain - it's been a while. Good luck.
