Yes, I know that.  But from the help:
Parameters

dwArgc
Specifies the number of arguments in the lpszArgv array.

lpszArgv
Points to an array of pointers that point to null-terminated argument
strings. The first argument in the array is the name of the service,
and subsequent arguments are any strings passed to the service by the
process that called the StartService function to start the service.
-------------------------
I have tried setting the start parameters on the service's property
page and including parameters on the ImagePath entry for the service
in the registry, all to no avail.  Does that mean the SCM will simply
not pass parameters when starting a service?
