Just to be sure: it's the service manager you need.

The short answer is: no. The long answer can be found in a thread where we were 
discussing pro and contra running SC as a service. As on Vista the user can't 
manage services any more we already had removed it from that menu in the case 
the user was running Vista. Now we decided to do it the right way, removing all 
those conditional menus, as it failed for some users on XP as well. It's a step 
backwards for some, but leads to less confusion for those encountering the 
issue (which often are less than power users).

Service: can't access your mapped drives, can't be managed by non privileged 
users, not at all in Vista; but it starts without the need to log on.

App: need to log on, but sees the system as you see it, with all the mapped 
drives etc.

Then have it run as an application.
