With Windows 2000 or NT (maybe XP?) in the services controller you can play around with the dependencies to change the order that services start. Assuming you can get ZoneAlarm to run as a service (this is an exercise left to the reader) you can make whatever services you are concerned about "dependant" on the ZoneAlarm service. The dependent services will not be loaded until ZoneAlarm has started successfully.
