Yes - and I'm only dealing with the fact that it isn't 'well documented'.
'As a user' is _NEVER_ meant to run as a service, you simply have to click
on the 'run apache in a console window' or however that shortcut reads.
The user -could- copy that to the startup group if they wanted.

You would _never_ want to. The current behavior assures that the server starts
(when installed for all users)
--- even if nobody is there when the machine ups and reboots out of nowhere.
(say a power failure or something like that.)
Otherwise, it's always clearer to the user to copy that start in console
over to the startup group.

No sense, either they 'want it' or they don't. I don't believe in 'hiding'
stuff over in HKCU\M\W\CV\Run since the user can't easily move it around.
