we just got a project to run a program (syncback.exe) but the program will die when we log out

I would like to create a service that will run this program "in the background" but 1) i only have access to the 05 and 08 express editions ( i can get the full suit but its a pain in the rump at work)

is there anyway to create a serivce in express


and once I have the service created how do I make sure the app is always running

should i just use the timer.
