Are you using Visual Studio? I believe it includes a template project for creating Windows services.

Also, services are generally designed to function without user interaction. What do you need a form for?

Where you install your services using the ServiceInstaller class, specify Automatic start up mode.

Code:

---

ServiceInstaller s = new ServiceInstaller();
s.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
