EXE to Service

Hello All, does anyone know how I can run a MFC Executable as a Windows-service? It is a program that periodically checks for a file, and if found processes it and writes results to another file, so it has no user interface. Thanks, Ronald Wilmink.
I wrote a program called GenSvc which will do that... http://codebeetle.com/page.php?id=2[^] The source code is also available.

ReadDirectoryChangesW()andFindFirstChangeNotification().
