You won't be able to convert an .exe to service if that is not implemented to be a service.
maybe mentioned links might be helpful.

If you to run your app you can use from Registry and for how to use i think i saw two classes on codeproject that are working with Registry you can see them,anyway you can wrok with registry functions its not hard

If you want to start your application as soon as your system starts up...
Then make an entry for your application path in the following registry key...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Or else you will have to rewrite your exe to act as a service too.

You should be watchful. Coz there are plenty of restrictions on services, so many of the windows related tasks won't work as smoothly as you would expect. Any way here[^] is a nice little article by Nishant Sivakumar which will get you started on windows services.

Take a look at CRegKey. It's quite simple. Try by yourself.

Hi,
Can you say How to convert a CString value to a char value.
Thanks in advance.

CString csStr("Test");
char* pbuff = csStr.GetBuffer(csStr.GetLength())

Two people have correctly told you how to get a char *, although neither told you that you need to call ReleaseBuffer() on the string when you're done with it. But if you want to access a single char from the string, you can use index notation to access one character at a time.
CString s("sucka");
char u = s[1];
This is assuming a non Unicode build, of course.

Nor did they mention that if you don't need to modify the string a simple assignment will do the trick. i.e.
LPCTSTR pStr = s;

Well just for curiosity sake, I guess one needs to call ReleaseBuffer() only if the buffer supplied is manipulated with, like data is altered.
Does one have to always call ReleaseBuffer(), i mean if he is just calling GetBuffer() just to convert it to form easy for display or copy etc??

Every call to GetBuffer should have a matching call to ReleaseBuffer. GetBuffer and ReleaseBuffer should only be used on code which alters the string. If you just want to inspect use operator LPCTSTR. Using this operator is automatic, ie:
const char *pData = MyCString;
As Christian suggested however, both of these methods should only be use when using a CString with code that knows nothing about CStrings - In general use CString's member functions to manipulate it's contents.

Yes. A call to GetBuffer requires a call to ReleaseBuffer. Failing to do so results in a memory leak.

There is no need to call GetBuffer for thos purposes. CString has an (LPCTSTR) operator to convert to const TCHAR* implicitly, so in non-UNICODE builds, that operator returns a const char*.
