I'm running my Shoutcast server on an WinNT4.0 Server. I would like it to run as a service, so that it will be running even when the logged in user logs out.

So far, with the help of NT RESKIT, I've created the services for the server and the WinAMP player. They both start on boot. Using the system account, and I have the interact with desktop option selected.

This is working so far...

What I can't find is how to make the Shout cast plugin automatically connect to the shoutcast server software. It will re-connect after I click on it to connect for the first time.

I would like to boot the server and not have any user interaction. The Streaming audio is the only thing running on this server.

The Software I'm running is:

Shoutcast Server v1.8.0/win32 (JAN 2 2001)
Shoutcast Source Plugin DSP/Effect v1.8.0

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.
MiKE
