Problem with services....

A little complicated, may not make much sense but here it goes.

I'm running a server, and I have it setup as a service. However if I set it up normally and don't tell it to log in to a specific account, it won't pull the accounts. But when I set it up that way I can log-in the server and see the flserver.exe window.

Now when I tell it to use an account for the service, it loads the accounts, now but this time when I log in, it doens't show flserver.exe. If I go under proccess it is running and the server is up and running in the background it does not "interact" with the desktop.

I've tried several diffrent ways and no go. Is there a place I can move the accounts so when it is setup where I can see flserver.exe it finds the accounts instead of having to specify an account and therefore it cannot "interact" with the desktop.

this problem might be directory permission related

Another thing I have noticed, when I start it up the way I don't specify a log-in ID, it creates another character and then that character is on there.
I've tried seraching my whole hard drive and can't find where these files are.

As the MP files live in /User who installed/My Documents/My Games/....
you may be able to copy that to All Users/My Documents/...
see if that helps.
I cant see why M$ didnt make it available to run as a service, it would make much more sense.
Who knows maybe someone will tweak things soon.

Yea I've tried that as well. I've copied it under each user they there is.

I've been searching my hard drive to see where it stores the name, I have yet to find it.
