This is amazing. Please teach me how to achieve such thing. I also want to be able to develop a service which can work when a computer is shut down.

Sure, I understand that. What I mean to say, you should better express yourself more accurately, to avoid confusions. :-)
Anyway, now I answered your question; please see Solution 2.

Solution 1

ServiceBase has an OnStop() which you should override and handle the clean shutdown of your service internal code.
