Errr, this is a stab in the dark, but I'd be curious to know the answer to this anyway if anyone knows.

Does the autorun "feature" only work on CDs? If not, why not use autorun to start whatever you're trying to do rather than have a service listening?

That way you wouldn't need the service in the first place. Or would you? Not being a Windows dev person I have absolutely no idea, but I can immediately think of a couple of practical applications for this if it's possible.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
