I have a service that I want to start sooner in the boot proccess and was needing to know how or if this can be change/done? Anyone know. I searched this board but didnt come up with anything.

Dr Chris,

Welcome to the forum.

My first question would have to be "WHY"?

Starting Services and finding the right place in RAM for them is one of those "Magic" things handled by Windows.

You might be able to start something later, by putting it in your "Startup" folder, but I know of NO way to start something any sooner than windows starts it.

Here is what microsoft offer to change services start order:

The internet forums are full of people asking how to recover their (dead) computers after they've tried to 'readjust' something that Windows is designed to take care of.

If you're a computer design engineer, have at it.

But then, you wouldn't be here asking for help, would you?

The best advise I could give would be, "leave it the way the engineers at MS designed it" and just run it and enjoy it.

Cheers!

Thanks allen2 that is just what I was looking for.

MrChris

I am glad I read this post. Allen2, thanks for the link. I have always wondered about this, but I wish this article went into a little more detail.
