> And I'm a complete blank slate when it comes to the Windows side.

On the Windows side, I think the relevant analog would be a service.
(Okay, on the NT side, anyways.  I'm not sure how many people would
 want to try to run a daemon on Windows 95/98... ;)

Theres a short bit on how to check for various service-related
info-bits here:

And to create a windows service, check out the sample at:
