Any Windows Service can start with system start. This is defined by its start options; please see the "Services" Control Panel applet.

Other system events can be handled by using the class Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents:

Windows Services are started automatically when computer is booted. They do not require a logged in user in order to execute and can run under the context of any user including the system. Windows Services are controlled through the Service Control Manager where they can be stopped, paused, and started as needed.
