Keep a program running, even while logged off ?

[Myth0s]

Hi !

I would like to keep iTunes running all the time, even when nobody's working
on the computer (but the computer is On).

But the problem is : I don't know how to keep a program working all the
time, a little like some Windows' services...

Have any ideas ??

Thank you !

I'm aware of the Fast User Switching but I don't really like the idea of
letting a session open 24/7 just for one program.. that would slow down the
whole pc using issane amout of RAM (iTunes already use +-60mg while running
"normal")

I can't believe MS didn't tough of that ?

Thank you worked fine.

But the link (in the google group) to NT3.5 Ressource Kit is dead.
