Windows 7 Home: Service Logon Right

If you're using a Windows 7 Home Edition you'll have trouble granting users the right to run services.  Note this is not a problem on Professional or Ultimate Editions.

A way round it is described in the blog below - you install a Windows 2003 Resource kit and use the "ntrights" command.  I've tried it and it worked - obviously subsitute service for batch and realise that this is not recommended in any way, shape or form!!
