run app as service to run before logon

[IchBistTod]

How would i make my exe so it auto-detects if it is a service and if not installs itself as service and autorun on startup before login

[Confuzzled]

Why would you want to do that? What security attributes would you be giving it?

Second that. What you are describing is what maulware does. Lets hear your reason.

There are also many remote support apps, like as "log me in"or "team viewer" that do this.

my reason is similar, I am making a remote support app for my computers, I also have a half developed AntiVirus that I want to make work of AI, and a firewall like program that can detect attacks against the computer.

All of these would be useful to have always running even if no user is logged on.

they will not need user interfaces to run, as only the core will run as system service and GUI's will be produced by an app ran on login.

If you think this is dangerous for others to know you also may help me from PM, as I see how it could be.

Thank you for your help.

Just install your script as a service.
