Hi,
I don't know how can explain...

Can I start a vbs like a service?

I have a vbs that generate a txt and I have to run it every 10min. Can I put
it in "Windows Services"?
I don't want to schedule this execution.

How can I do this

You may accomplish this using Scheduled Tasks via Control Panel.
After setting up a task select the Schedule tab, then Advanced
button. Option is on this window to repeat every x minutes.

You can create your own service, just follow the steps at link below..

remember that if you want a vbscript to run as a service, Step 5 at link
below should point to cscript/wscript.exe (typically
c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe) and pass your script name along with full
path as argument to cscript.exe

for example, if you have a script as c:\scripts\myscript.vbs, you can use
the application as:

c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe c:\scripts\myscript.vbs

and yes, your should code your script in a way that it executes a set of
code every 10mins as your requirement..(you can do that in a forever while
loop and include a statement wscript.sleep statement to suspend exection till
given time)
