This is a service to control the keyboard backlight behavior on Lenovo P and X series laptops (possibly other models).

It will ensure the keyboard backlight is on after boot and also turn it back on after the system comes out of a standby.

Run the "LBCServiceInstaller.exe" to install. This is included on the latest release (1.3.0.0 as of now).

NOTE: This was only tested using the LOCAL SYSTEM account for the service log on account.

This service will create a file called LCBServiceConfig.xml in the same folder as the executable. The path to Keyboard_Core.dll can be specified/changed here, as well as the preferred brightness level and a user preferred timeout which is only used by the "LCBServiceSettings.exe" application. This runs as a system tray icon that can monitor user activity and will send enable/disable the backlight as preferred.
