0) A Windows service has no interface, and therefore cannot have its own forms (if that's what you were intending).

1) You have to set the service to "interact with the windows desktop" to open an external app with a GUI. I then suspect that you would also have to make sure that a user (and maybe even the appropriate user) is logged in, but I'm not entirely sure about that requirement. Another thing to be aware of is that if you want to do that, MOST of the time, the proper method is to put the app into the system tray.
