It's actually not really important if you service runs in interactive mode or not. You always can specify window station and a desktop while creating a new process. There is a special parameter in StartupInfo structure for this.You also can use the Developex free tool DevxExec to run a process from the windows service under another user.DevxExec.exe /user: Administrator /password:qwerty cmd.exe


This command automatically grand to user Administrator permissions on the appropriate window station and the desktop and run a command shell.


Let's see the following scenario. You have a Windows service running. User Marcus has logged tothe computer. And you want yours service to start the application that will be shown to Marcus on his current desktop. In other words, you need to run a new process in another session.


Again you can use DevxExec. It has a special parameter /sessionid to specify the session you what to run a new process in. For example this command could start a command shell for a logged in user under Administrator.
DevxExec.exe /user: Marcus /password:qwerty /sessionid:1 cmd.exe
