Service startup question....

I have a service supplied by a vendor and it has little documentation and the
vendor has not answered my question as of yet. So I have been hacking at
this service to get it to accept the startup parameters to customize the
service.

If I put the service executable in the "Path to executable" along with the
startup parameters that we need, the service discards the parameters.
However if I supply the same startup parameters in the box "Startup
parameters" it works as expected. My only issue is that when I enter this
information and start the service the setting isn't sticky.

How can I enter this information so that it stays consistent across reboots?
I take it that it is just a registry setting for that service, but damned if
I can find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Joe,

Does the service show up under the services.msc?

Best regards
