  Yes, that's basically true. But as you wrote, the GUI application that is part of a service either must not be writable by the user (which is OK in this case, as you need admin rights to install the service anyway), or the service has to prove that the application is the correct one.
  
  Hopefully this talk doesn't go too far away from the original author's question, though it gets a little...

  TCP/IP and Pipes are rather indirect communication methods in the context I described above, as the other side has to expect and accept the connection and must explicitly read the data. SendMessage and PostMessage (and all these nice input emulation functions) usually force an action in the application, as most applications delegate most window messages to the default window procedure and there...

  @4.: What I meant was direct communication between a service and an interactive application. Some time ago, services lost the ability to directly manipulate windows on interactive desktops (should be since XP, if the service was configured appropriately), but I consider starting an interactive application in a user context basically the same and won't be surprised if that can't be done anymore in...

  What happens if more than one user is logged on?
  Where does the service get the user login password from?
  What happens if the service does not run with full rights?
  
  
  Oh, apart from the question what happens if services and user...

  Why does your service need to run an interactive application? In many instances, if there is the need for a service to trigger user interaction, a separate application is run on the user's desktop (mostly with a TNA icon). The service can then contact this GUI application which will perform the needed actions. You may want to have a look at Larry Osterman's article series about applets (search...
