You won't be able to convert an .exe to service if that is not implemented to be a service. maybe mentioned links might be helpful. MSDN Ref[^] Intro[^]

If you want to start your application as soon as your system starts up... Then make an entry for your application path in the following registry key... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Or else you will have to rewrite your exe to act as a service too.

You should be watchful. Coz there are plenty of restrictions on services, so many of the windows related tasks won't work as smoothly as you would expect. Any way here[^] is a nice little article by Nishant Sivakumar which will get you started on windows services.

Take a look at CRegKey. It's quite simple. Try by yourself.
