Thanks for this it works great, this is how I'm using it, I wonder if this is what you also recommend and perhaps we should make an installer that helps set this up:

  1. I created a new user account called "plexuser" and I run the service under this new account so that plex has no access to my normal user account. I set the password on this account to never expire.
  2. I used "sc create" to create the service pointing to the PlexService.exe that I built locally.
  3. I had to then user the computer management dialog to fix the login since sc create seemed to mess that up.
  4. I was then able to start the service
  5. I then put your nifty PlexServiceTray.exe in my HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run so it starts automatically when I login.
  6. I was then able to use your service tray "open plex" to setup my new server, add my media libraries, etc. The service is reachable from my apple TV and is streaming a movie, so all is great.

I vote that plex should just ship your service wrapper as is :-)
