    I have a custom service that requires a start parameter to be passed at service startup. The only way I have found is to manualy enter in the Start Parameters text area of the service applet. This data does not stay entered if the service stopped, or restarted.
    I would like to "hard code" this info into the registry to prevent having to re-enter this data every time, therefore allowing the service to start automatic.

    What kind of service is this?
    Yopu could probably make a batch file or script that enters the wanted parameters then launches the service.

    Locate the service under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and add the parameter to the end of the ImagePath entry.
