Services query

BKtje

I did a search but unfortunately found nothing of use even though i suspect that this has come up before at some stage.

What i'm trying to do is to get a bluetooth adapter service starting before the user logs in. This worked with the old bluetooth adapter that we had here (pc would start, bluetooth service would start and keyboard would work) but this new one stops when u log off and starts again when you logon.
Pretty useless for a keyboard when you need to type passwords etc to login.

Anyone have any idea how to automate this at startup (i've gone into services but it is already setup as "automated", is there some other checkbox to be found so that it doesnt stop when you log off and auto starts even before a user logs in).

Thanks for any help, it's doing my nut in here.

check startup for a program running in the users profile or use autoruns on the microsoft site.

if it's a program running then look at this to get it started when PC boots. If the program needs or waits for user input then you are off to a flying stop.
