   I'm no expert, but you can type parameters to a service in the
   control panel/
   services.  Click on the service you want and enter the parameters in the 
   "Startup Parameters" box.  Then, start the service.  The one thing I'm not
   sure about is whether or not the parameters entered in this way are 
   persistent.  I seem to remember having some trouble with this, but its been
   a while so my memory may not be clear...

I see no "Startup Parameters" Box.  All I see in the resulting dialog
is:

Radio Box: Automatic/Manual/Disabled

Group Box: Log on as

Radio Box: System Account/This Account

Checkbox: Allow Service to Interact with Desktop

Edit Boxes: This Account, Password, Confirm Password

and the usual pushbuttons.


NT Workstation 4.0, SP5.
