Thanks so much for the replies - very useful.

I do not want to go to the effort of creating a full Windows service,
so I looked for srvany.exe, as suggested by Benjamin. This allows you
to run any program as a service. I installed it, and it seems to work.
I have only tried it on my personal machine so far, so I have not put
it under any stress, but it looks as if it will do the job. I will be
happy to provide details if anyone is interested.

Thanks again
