There are a couple of things you have to do here - you have to set up the service so that it can interact with the desktop. This is done in the service applet in Control Panel/Administrative Tools.

Double click the service to open it
Select the Log On tab
Make sure the service is set to "Local System Account" (otherwise it cannot interact with the desktop"
Check "Allow service to interact with desktop"

Now, in your service onstart event, new up your login form:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Dim MyLoginForm as new frmLogin '(or whatever its called)

Dim ValidUser As Boolean = False
 
If MyLoginForm.ShowDialog() = vbOK Then

       'Check username/password, set ValidUser

End If
 
If Not ValidUser Then

      'Do what you have to in order to delete the folder

End If
 
MyLoginForm.Close
