Launching Timbuktu Pro as a Service

By default, the Timbuktu Pro application is launched as a service. It is started automatically as soon as Windows has loaded on your computer, before Windows requires you to log in. This lets you control your computer remotely and type in your Windows log on information, just as if you were sitting at the computer, or use services such as Exchange without logging in to Windows at all (depending on the service you request, you may still be required to log in to Timbuktu Pro as a Registered User). If you prefer to prevent Timbuktu Pro from starting automatically, you must start it manually. See Starting Timbuktu Pro.
