Hello Edward and welcome!

The book,
    "Python Programming on Win32"
by
    Mark Hammond and Andy Robinson

contains the following chapters that may be relevant:
    - Windows NT Administration
    - Processes and Files
    - Windows NT Services
    - Active Scripting

I highly recommend this book for Windows programmers, and Mark Hammond
frequently answers questions on this forum.
