In traditional Win32 services there is a flag sent to CreateService that
allows the service to interact with the desktop (by default, it does not).
I have generally just created a client program that loads as a user logs in
and have that program interact with the service as needed.

I cannot see how you would set that flag using the .NET classes just now on
a quick inspection. Administrators can prevent you from interacting with
the desktop even if you want to, so designing a service to interact with the
desktop is a bad idea.

System.ServiceProcess has an enumeration, called the ServiceType
enumeration. Among the values is:

InteractiveProcess A service that can communicate with the desktop.

ServiceController has a ServiceType member that can accept members of the
ServiceType enumeration.
