Create app as a Service

Does anyone know how to create an application to either install as a service or at least provide the configuration option on a form.  By that I mean that the user clicks a button or menu option 'config' then allow user to set the appliction to run as a service, show the app. in the system tray?

Any help, advice and or guidance would be greatly appreciated
