Thanks for the help. I am running it as an application, so that I can see it in
the system tray.

But, that suggestion doesn't seem to work. I can stop it in Task Manager no
probs, but trying to start fbguard or fbserver from Explorer seems to have no
effect. I can start FB from the Control Panel Firebird Service Manager, without
fbguard.

I think I saw a letter on this group that lets you run them from the command
line with a parameter that has the desired effect.
