I just received the article that follows this morning. I know it's not an API but maybe this can help!

"AppToService is a Windows NT Unicode console application that lets you run regular applications as NT Services. This allows you to have some of the benefits of a Windows NT service, such as the ability to run an application even when no user is logged on the computer, the ability to run an application under a specified user account, the ability to allow an application to survive logoff/logon sequences, hence saving the overhead of restarting it for each new user, and so on."
