Well, you've probably seen my around the Forums on this website recently. I had yet another question...how would you recommend setting PortTester up as a service? I could use srvany.exe, but I'd prefer to leave our server's registry alone if at all possible. Anyway, let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Do you want to have it run at regular intervals?
You could do that using Windows Task Scheduler (I'm assuming that since you speak of services you're on Windows) and set it up to run every so-many minutes, but that'll probably touch the registry a little bit. Getting rid of it however is just a few simple clicks.

I suggest that any attempt to set up a service will touch the Registry, so that using srvany will probably not have any more bad effect that other ways of making a service.
I'll put that another way - if you create a service the information needed by Windows to start the service will be in the Registry. Thus, there isn't a way of making a service that leaves the Registry alone.
