Question : Service is not saving the start parameter

I have a service on a Windows 2003 server that requires a start parameter.  I can enter the parameter in the properties and start the service correctly, but it will not save the start parameter.  The next time I reboot and the service starts automatically, there is no start parameter used or listed in the properties.  How can I correct this?  Thanks!

Answer : Service is not saving the start parameter

The field in the MMC will indeed only work a single time.
To make this permanent, start regedit (the usual precautions apply) and go to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\rviceName>, and edit the value ImagePath; add the argument at the end.
For an example, compare with HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Alerter, which uses svchost.exe and the parameters "-k LocalService":
ImagePath=%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalService
