Try SRVANY Gary. It comes standard with NT. There is a SRVANY.WRI that 
explains how to use it in the %root%\system32 directory. Any Win32,Win16 and 
DOS app can be setup with it as a service that can be started. If the app 
responds to the windows close command, then when service is stopped, the app 
will close. Unfortunately you can only start Binkely32 and Maximus/NT as a 
service. You can't stop them through the service control manager, but instead 
must manually stop them. Every other Win and Win32 app I've tried it with can 
be both started and stopped when setup as a service.
