The best way... is not to launch processes from your service.
Vista is (quite correctly) warning the user of a potential security risk,
because your service (which is likely running under an elevated account) is
trying to spawn another process (which will start with the same security
privs as your service). That process would have sufficient privs to do
harmful things (delete system files, alter the registry etc) and thus Vista
prompts the user for confirmation.
In simple terms, avoid launching apps from your service wherever possible -
it's not good security practice. If you cannot avoid it, you might be able
to look into other solutions involving the task scheduler (i.e. schedule a
process to start under the interactive session in the next 5 seconds, one
time only).
