STEP ONE
* Download this zip file from tacktech.com, which contains the files you will need to use in the following instructions.
* Unzip these files into the “c:\reskit” folder.
[Source: Security Now]
STEP TWO
* At an MS-DOS command prompt, type “c:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE HamachiService c:\reskit\SRVANY.EXE” (without the quotes). You will see a message that the service was successfully added.
* Run Registry Editor and locate the “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HamachiService” entry.
* Add a new KEY with the name “Parameters”.
* Select the new Parameters key, then add a new VALUE with the name “Application”.
* Modify the new Application value, and edit the STRING data with “c:\Program Files\Hamachi\hamachi.exe -srvany” (without the quotes).
* If you installed Hamachi to another folder other than c:\Program Files, you will need to adjust that line accordingly.
* Click OK and then exit the Registry Editor.

STEP THREE
* Open the Services applet (via Control Panel / Administrative Tools) or by running ’services.msc”.
* Scroll down to “HamachiService” and double-click it.
* Make sure STARTUP TYPE is “Automatic” then click on the LOG ON tab.
* Under LOG ON AS, select “Local System Account” and make sure the “Allow service to interact with desktop” is CHECKED.
* Click APPLY and OK to close the window.
STEP FOUR (optional if you're already running Hamachi)
* If you would like the new HamachiService to use your existing Hamachi identity information open an MS-DOS command prompt.
* Type “reg copy “HKCU\Software\Applied Networking” “HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Applied Networking” /s” (without the outer quotes). You will see a message that the operation was completed successfully.
STEP FIVE
* Reboot the computer. (Do not close Hamachi, let Windows shut it down while it is still online. Hamachi remembers it’s previous state, so, if you reboot the machine while Hamachi is connected, the service will start with Hamachi connected.)
I hope this brief tutorial helps you get Hamachi running as a service on your machine.
