oh sorry i forgot to tell you the " -b " means background .. so testingblah.exe -b configuration.config means it runs with the config file in the background (press ctrl alt del and u see it )

You can not run any application as a service. It has to be written specifically to be a service. See MSDN for more details.

You search the Wiki for start up and find the answer.
