The security for the service is preventing it from accessing the desktop.

Instead of asking how to enable the interaction of the service with the desktop, ask the proper question: how to write an application which runs in the context of the user (and also: how to start it when the user logs on) and which interacts with a Windows service.
The communication between the application and the service looks like a "common" client-server-communication, i.e. you can use e.g. WCF, .Net Remoting. Get familiarized with that stuff, and create a proper solution, instead of trying to get a stone-age architecture working in a modern environment.
