well yes... change the program type. If the purpose of the program is to run without intervention, then you should set it up as a service. If you need a gui, then a winforms application and if you need a command line interface, then a console application. If you have a main entry point which is spawning off its own thread then it should be easy enough to create a new project as a service and copy the code. You'll need to write some code to facilitate the Start/Stop/Pause commands etc but that's pretty straight forward

Maybe the following two ways can resolve you problem:
1. use Shell command
Example: Shell(PathName, AppWinStyle.Hide,False )
2. use StartProcessInfo
Example:


Imports System.Diagnostics

....
Dim a As New ProcessStartInfo(fileName)
a.CreateNoWindow = True
Process.Start(a)
