how to add 3rd party services in "System Services"

[aknair]

Hi i wanted to control startup of certain 3rd party services.

As expected, a security template would not have 3rd party services listed in it. So how can i introduce these services in the template?

I tried to edit the .inf file directly and i was petrified when i saw the length of security descriptor (atleast that is what i think it is) for each service. Is there an easy to customize this?

I've pasted below the contents of an .inf file after enabling the computer browser service ---
[Unicode]
Unicode=yes
[Version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Revision=1
[Service General Setting]
Browser,3,"D:AR(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;RP WPDTRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWP DTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;SY)SAU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"



thanks in advance!!

And it's been a long time since I've tried this..
You simply have to run the GP editor
*ON YOUR MACHINE that HAS the 3rd party SERVICE*.

If it works, let me know.. and we'll add it to the FAQ.

Thanks !
