Kevin, Starting the NT service for the oracle instance
has never started the database in any version of
Oracle on NT by default. I think what you have seen
before is the use of the auto start service of the DB.
This service has a dependency to the SID service, so
when you start the SID service it would start the
database as well. This auto start and shutdown feature
can be configured through the oradim.exe command. 

If you already have the SID service create then:

oradim -edit -sid test -startmode a -pfile
d:\ora901\database\init.ora

There is also a -startup option that will allow you to
specify the password.

Good Luck,

Scott
