Thanks Hugh, The reasons for not wanting to run it as a service is I am currently just doing testing on Windows, at some later point after I have things working roughly the way I want them I will want to port it over to a linux server. The windows machine I am doing testing on is my own machine, and I suppose I only need it to run when I am programming the solution or demoing for some people.
The reason not to just put in on linux currently is I don't have a linux machine which isn't dedicated to something else - could do VM but I figured I actually have to just set the bookmarks application up and extract data, put data in it to test some stuff.
