Service tab

 

On Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP you can run RoboTask as a Service. An Service is a background process that is loaded by the Service Control Manager of the Windows NT operating system. Services are usually loaded when Windows boots up, before anyone logs on.

 

Service mode is useful if you want to run a process in the background. However, services are background programs that run all the time and are activated automatically when Windows NT boots up. Services stop when Windows NT shuts down.
