Yes, the problem is I want to do it in a multiplatform way. 

In Linux I can set CommandLine := 'httpserver &'; 
In Win32 I should create a service, *but* I don't have administrative privileges.

Correct me if I'm wrong, can I create a Win32 service without admin privileges? Or do you know a
better way?
